Abstract
This invention relates to a combination of three light compact metallic members adapted for temporary attachment to a sawbuck supported auxiliary length of timber, illustratively a two-by-four, for guiding a carpenter, who is equipped with a hand circular saw, in cutting lumber pieces of uniform cross-section into pieces of precisely controlled length. The three metallic pieces comprise a T-square, which serves as a saw guide, an end stop, and a carrier for supporting work-pieces from the sawbuck supported timber after the work-piece has been reduced to a length which, when in cutting position, is inadequate to derive simultaneous support from both sawbucks. The three metallic pieces are adapted to be united into a compact unit for transportation and/or storage, by a single bolt.
Claims9
A beam cutting assembly for use in conjunction with a pair of work-piece supporting sawbucks, an auxiliary length of timber supported by the sawbucks, and a hand carried circular saw, said assembly comprising,
- a. an end stop attachable to the auxiliary length of timber for controlling the position of the leading end of the beam to be cut,
- b. a saw guide attachable to the auxiliary length of timber for determining the line of cut, and
- c. a carrier attachable to the auxiliary length of timber between the sawbucks for supporting the tail end of the beam during cutting when the beam has been rendered too short to extend from sawbuck to sawbuck.
