Abstract:
A saw guide for use with a hand-held power saw of the type having a moving blade and a parallel guide edge used for cutting sheet and stock material having an upper surface and an outer edge, the saw guide being affixable on the upper surface of the material using a clamp, the saw guide being used to guide the power saw when cutting the material, comprising:a first arm (44) intended to rest on the upper surface of a sheet of material and to engage the edge of the material, said first arm having a straight edge section adapted to abut the edge of the material; an elongated variable angle second arm (62) intended to rest on the upper surface of the material, said second arm having an elongated, straight saw guide surface for engaging an edge of a power saw when cutting the material; an elongated variable third angle arm (65) intended to rest on the upper surface of the material, said third arm having an elongated, straight saw guide surface for engaging an edge of the power saw when cutting the material; a first locking device pivotally connecting an outer end of said second arm and an inner end of the third arm for pivotal motion about a common pivot axis toward either a first position in which the third arm forms a linear extension of the second arm, or a second position in which the third arm is disposed parallel to the second arm; and a second locking device pivotally connecting an inner end of the first arm to an inner end of the second arm, such that the first arm is pivotal toward either a first position in which the first arm is disposed at a selected angular position with respect to the second arm or a second position in which the first arm is parallel to both the second arm and the third arm.
