Abstract
A floating bench saw guide for guiding a portable circular saw along a workpiece while sawing the workpiece, has a cradle for retaining a portable circular saw, a saw plane across the cradle, and a guide lip movably affixed to the cradle. A pair of gage blocks are affixed to the cradle along the saw plane. The gage blocks are advantageous for allowing the use of a straight edge for easily positioning the blade of a circular saw along the saw plane. In another feature of the invention, a pair of spaced-apart parallel rails are affixed to the cradle. The guide lip is movably affixed to the rails and is reversible relative to the saw plane. The guide lip overhangs its mountings to the rails such that it is positional relative to the saw plane over a distance which is longer than the length of the rails.
