Abstract
A sawing location apparatus adapted to be placed on a workpiece has a bearing engagement for the workpiece to one side of a saw guide device and a location device on the other side of the saw guide device for setting the workpiece to a desired position in a direction transverse to the cutting plane defined by the saw guide device. Arrangements are described for making right-angled and oblique transverse cuts in an elongate workpiece as well as longitudinally directed cuts in an end face of such a workpiece.
Claims21
Workpiece location apparatus for making a saw cut at a predetermined location in an elongate workpiece comprising:
- a bearer member adapted to be placed on the workpiece in fixed relation to and engageable with a side face thereof;
- saw guide means including a planar element carried by said bearer member in fixed relation therewith to thereby define a saw cutting guide plane perpendicular to said side face, said saw guide means including biasing means adapted to urge a saw blade against said planar element and presenting a guide opening for introduction of the saw blade from above, said biasing means and planar element thus being adapted to maintain the saw blade in said saw cutting guide plane during the cutting cycle;
- and workpiece location means mounted on said bearer member adapted to define a location for the workpiece in a direction transverse to said saw cutting guide plane, said location means being adjustably mounted on said bearer member relative to said guide plane in said transverse direction.
Workpiece location apparatus for making a saw cut at a predetermined location in an elongate workpiece, comprising a bearer member adapted to be placed on the workpiece to engage a side face thereof, saw guide means carried by said bearer member to define a saw cutting guide plane perpendicular to said side face, and workpiece location means mounted on said bearer member adapted to define a location for the workpiece in a direction transverse to said saw guide plane, said location means being adjustably mounted on said bearer member, said location means including a limb extending parallel to said saw guide plane and said location means being mounted on said bearer member by mounting means adapted to permit adjustment of said limb in said transverse direction, said location means further including a pair of gauging blades arranged on said limb for use selectively in dependence upon the location of the saw cut to be made along the length of the workpiece.
Workpiece location apparatus for making a saw cut at a predetermined location in an elongate workpiece comprising a bearer member adapted to be placed on the workpiece to engage and provide a planar location for a side face thereof, saw guide means carried by said bearer member defining a saw cutting guide plane perpendicular to said side face, and workpiece location means carried by said bearer member defining a location for the workpiece in a direction transverse to said guide plane, said location means being carried by said bearer member in a manner permitting adjustment of the position of said location means relative to the guide guide plane in said transverse direction, said location means including a limb extending parallel to said saw guide plane and rotatable about an axis perpendicular to said saw guide plane to project selectively to either side of said workpiece side face location plane whereby in one of said selected positions of projection it provides an abutment for an end face of the workpiece.
Workpiece location apparatus for making a saw cut at a predetermined location in an elongate workpiece comprising a bearer member adapted to be placed on and be supported by the workpiece, said bearer member comprising respective elements for location against a side and a top face of the workpiece, saw guide means carried by said bearer member to provide a saw guide face extending below said bearer member top face location element and defining a saw cutting guide plane perpendicular to said side face, and workpiece location means mounted on the bearer member to define a location for the workpiece in a direction transverse to said guide plane, the position of said workpiece location means relative to the guide plane being adjustable in said transverse direction, said workpiece location means including an attaching element disposed below the saw guide face and extending from the bearer member transversely to the saw guide plane, and an elongate element extending upwardly from said attaching element parallel to the saw guide plane and at least substantially to the level of said top face location element, said bearer member and said elongate element being disposed on opposite sides of the saw guide plane whereby said workpiece transverse direction location means register with a portion of the workpiece projecting beyond the bearer member.
