Abstract
A saw guide device includes a planar element having a pair of sides, a forward end, and a rear end. A flange member is affixed at an obtuse angle to the forward end of the planar element. An L-shaped member is affixed to each side of the planar element, wherein each L-shaped element is tilted inwardly over the planar element. The shoe of the saw is adapted to be received on the planar element. A block element is affixed to a bottom rear center of the planar element, wherein the block element is received into the saw cut rearwardly of the saw blade.
Claims3
A saw guide used for producing a straight line kerf cut in a board with a saw having a saw blade, a motor housing, a handle, and a shoe, said shoe having upwardly extending side flanges and an upwardly bent forward end, which comprises:
- a. a rectangularly shaped planar element having a pair of sides, a forward end, and rear end, said planar element adapted to receive said shoe thereon;
- b. means for retaining said shoe on said planar element, said retaining means including an L-shaped member affixed to each said side of said planar member, each said L-shaped member tilted inwardly over said planar element, each said L-shaped member adapted to slidably receive a corrsponding said side flange provided by each side of said shoe for retaining said planar member upon said shoe;
- c. means for extending said saw blade through said forward end of said planar element;
- and
- d. a block element affixed perpendicularly to a bottom rear center surface of said planar element, said block element adapted to be received in said kerf cut rearwardly of said saw blade.
