Abstract
A portable vise and saw combination includes a vise element having three attachment points. One attachment point is used to attach the vise to an existing support such as an existing horizontal rail, and another attachment point allows a saw to be mounted to the vise. A workpiece is mounted in the third attachment point. The saw is aligned with the workpiece so that the workpiece may be selectively cut at a desired length and angle. A measuring apparatus is also incorporated within the vise to allow an operator to set the saw to cut successive workpieces at the same lengths without having to remeasure each workpiece.
Claims9
A portable saw base assembly for use with a power saw for angle and compound cuts of workpieces comprising in operative combination:
- a) an elongated, generally planar base plate having a first end and a second end, a top face, a bottom face and front and back side edges;
- b) a mounting member secured to the bottom face of said base plate adjacent said first end thereof, said mounting member being oriented generally normal to the plane of said base plate and projecting downwardly to permit securing said mounting member in a vertical orientation in a vice so that said base plate is both cantilevered from said vice and oriented generally horizontally, and a workpiece to be cut is oriented generally parallel to said front edge;
- c) an index plate pivotally secured to the top face of said base plate adjacent said second end therof, said index plate having a top face;
- and
- d) a saw mounting member secured to said top face of said index plate for pivotally mounting a power saw so that saw is movable in a downward cutting arc.
