Abstract
A guide for a portable circular power saw for cutting wood at an angle. The guide has a circular stationary base which journals an outer member that carries guide tracks over the base. The outer member is rotated on the stationary base. The wood to be cut is supported on the base.
Claims7
A portable device for controlling the travel of a circular power saw while cutting wood board, comprising
- (1) a circular base having a flat upper surface
- (a) intended to removably rest on a fixed surface during a cut,
- (b) having on its upper surface a straight edge raised element intended to position a wood board on the base,
- (c) having support means on the outer circumference of the base;
- and
- (2) an outer member having a flat upper surface
- (a) an interior circular opening conforming in diameter to the outer diameter of the base,
- (b) an outer circumference extending beyond the interior opening,
- (c) support means on the interior circular opening intended to cooperate with the support means on the base for rotatably journalling the outer member on the base, and
- (d) a pair of horizontal parallel tracks extending above the base and supported at both ends from the outer member
- (1) the tracks having a horizontal surface on which the circular power saw can be slidably supported, and
- (2) vertically extending portions of the track which laterally restrain movement of the circular power saw while it is positioned horizontally along the tracks;
- whereby cuts at different angles can be made through a wood board by a circular saw in a guided manner, by selectively rotationally adjusting the outer member and tracks with respect to the base wherein said flat upper surfaces lie in the same plane.
