Abstract
A guiding device includes a rail which extends in a direction, a plurality of runners distributed in the direction, and, for each runner, at least one runner/rail connection connecting each runner and the rail, configured to allow each runner to pivot independently from the other runners relative to the rail, around an axis of pivoting parallel to the direction.

A guiding device comprising:
- a rail extending in a direction, and comprising a support surface configured to support and guide a tool in a direction of work parallel to the direction;
- a plurality of runners distributed in the direction, each runner being configured to occupy an active state in which the runner is immobilized, and a state of rest in which the runner can move;
- for each runner, at least one runner/rail connection connecting each runner and the rail,
- wherein each runner/rail connection is configured to allow each runner to pivot independently from the other runners relative to the rail, around an axis of pivoting parallel to the direction, and positioned on a first face of the runner configured to be placed on a work surface on which the guiding device is added in operation.
