Abstract

A support assembly for a guide rail for a cutting tool is described. The support assembly includes a base element with a mechanical interface which is configured for a detachable connection with the guide rail. Further, a support arm having a first end pivotably supported on the base element and a second end configured to support the support assembly on a support surface is provided. The support assembly additionally includes a locking mechanism configured to selectively lock the support arm with respect to the base element in at least two different relative pivotal positions. Furthermore, a guiding assembly for a cutting tool as well as a use of a guiding assembly is presented. Also, a use of a support assembly is described. Moreover, a method for operating a guiding assembly is explained.
