Abstract
A material cutting guide system for cutting predetermined widths of a material. The system includes a frame fixed in location and a pair of spaced apart parallel tracks. At least one horizontal member is movably affixed to the frame and has a distal end extending outwardly therefrom, the distal end being affixed to the tracks. The system includes a motive device adapted to move the tracks in a generally lateral direction to a new location toward the fixed frame in predetermined increments to change the location of the tracks.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one track, wherein the at least one track comprises two spaced apart parallel tracks;
- a frame fixed in location;
- at least one horizontal member movably affixed to the fixed frame and having a distal end extending outwardly therefrom, the distal end being affixed to the tracks;
- and
- a motive device adapted to move the tracks in a generally lateral direction to a new location toward the fixed frame in predetermined increments to change the location of the tracks.
A method comprising:
- fixing a frame in a first location;
- operating a motive device to move a track system in a generally lateral direction to a new location toward the frame in predetermined increments to change a location of the track system relative to the frame, the track system comprising:
- at least one horizontal member configured to be affixed to the fixed frame and comprising a distal end extending outwardly from the frame;
- and
- a pair of spaced apart parallel tracks coupled to the distal end of the at least one horizontal member.
A system comprising:
- a track assembly comprising a first pair of parallel tracks;
- a first frame assembly comprising a pair of horizontal members, each horizontal member having a distal end coupled to the track assembly;
- a second frame assembly configured to be fixed in a location and comprising a pair of side frame members, each side frame member configured to be affixed to a respective horizontal member;
- and
- a motive device coupled to the second frame assembly and configured to move the track assembly in a direction toward the second frame assembly to change the location of the first pair of parallel tracks.
