Guide for hand held power saws

A saw guide for use with a hand held power saw comprising in combination a base plate having a triangular shaped body portion each edge thereof being generally planar, and two first saw blade indexes which are connected to a side of said base plate and which project beyond and outwardly of two generally planar edges of said triangular shaped body portion and a second saw blade index which is connected to the other side of said base plate and which projects beyond and outwardly of the remaining generally planar edge of said triangular shaped body portion;

• each said saw blade index having a generally planar first edge extending along the length thereof, the plane of each generally planar first edge intersecting the plane of the respective generally planar edge of said triangular shaped body portion, an angle of 90.degree. being defined between the intersecting planes of the generally planar first edge of said second saw blade index and the respective generally planar edge of the triangular shaped body portion, an angle of less than 90.degree. being defined between the intersecting planes of each generally planar first edge of each first saw blade index and the respective generally planar edge of the triangular shaped body portion;
• the arrangement being such that a workpiece to be cut is placed along the generally planar first edge of a selected one of said first or second saw blade indexes and against the corresponding side of said triangular shaped body portion, the angle defined between intersecting planes which correspond to the selected saw blade index determining the angle at which a workpiece is cut with a hand held power saw.
