Abstract
In one or more arrangements, a guide system for woodworking operations is presented which has a rail and a pair of side members operably connected to, and adjustable along a length of, the rail. In one or more arrangements, the side members are connected directly to the rail while in other arrangements the side members are indirectly connected to the rail, such as through use of a front member. In some various arrangements, the side members are laterally adjustable in order to accommodate various shapes, sizes, and configurations of base plates on various cutting members.
Claims38
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a sled configured to slide on a top surface of a workpiece;
- the sled having a pair of side members;
- the pair of side members configured to engage a base plate of a cutting member so as to facilitate secure attachment of the cutting member to the sled while allowing a blade of the cutting member to reach down and through the workpiece;
- wherein the pair of side members are laterally adjustable so as to adjust to the size and shape of the base plate of the cutting member.
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a rail;
- the rail extending a length between a first end and a second end;
- a pair of side members;
- the pair of side members operatively connected to the rail;
- wherein the pair of side members are configured to move along a length of the rail so as to set a cutting width;
- and
- wherein the pair of side members are laterally adjustable so as to adjust to the size and shape of a base plate of a cutting member.
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a sled;
- the sled having a pair of side members;
- each of the pair of side members having at least one attachment member;
- wherein the pair of side members are laterally adjustable such that the pair of side members can be individually positioned to engage a baseplate of a cutting member;
- and
- wherein the at least one attachment member of each of the pair of side members is configured to engage the baseplate of the cutting member so as to facilitate secure engagement between the cutting member and the pair of side members.
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a sled;
- the sled having a front member;
- the sled having a pair of side members;
- the pair of side members directly connected to the front member;
- the pair of side members configured to engage a base plate of a cutting member so as to facilitate attachment of the cutting member to the sled;
- wherein the pair of side members are laterally adjustable along a length of the front member so as to adjust to the size and shape of the base plate of the cutting member.
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a sled;
- the sled having a pair of side members;
- each of the pair of side members having a first attachment member;
- each of the pair of side members having a second attachment member;
- wherein the pair of side members are adjustable such that the pair of side members can be individually positioned to engage a baseplate of a cutting member;
- and
- wherein at least one of the first attachment member and second attachment member of each of the pair of side members is configured to engage the baseplate of the cutting member so as to facilitate secure engagement between the cutting member and the pair of side members.
A guide system for woodworking operations, comprising:
- a pair of side members;
- an alignment member;
- the pair of side members configured to engage a base plate of a cutting member so as to facilitate attachment of the cutting member to the sled;
- wherein the pair of side members are laterally adjustable so as to adjust to the size and shape of the base plate of the cutting member;
- wherein the alignment member is configured to facilitate alignment of a blade of the cutting member.
