A mechanism for aligning a portable power saw to a work piece, the saw being of a type having a motor, a handle, a blade, a base, and a switch to activate the motor and the blade,

• said mechanism comprising
• aligning means for butting against a work piece and means for connecting said aligning means to a saw,
• said aligning means for aligning a saw to a work piece for cutting movements,
• said aligning means having an operable position and a non-operable position, said operable position of said aligning means being for positioning at least a portion of said aligning means below a saw base for engaging a work piece and said non-operable position of said aligning means being for positioning said aligning means up and away from a work piece,
• said aligning means moving forwardly together with a saw during a cutting movement of the latter,
• said mechanism also including means to connect said aligning means to electrical means for providing power to move said aligning means.
