Abstract:
1. A jig for use in cutting an elongate workpiece with a saw blade, the jig comprising: a first guide member; a second guide member that is separate from said first guide member; each of the guide members being substantially defined by a respective pair of right angle pieces with first legs of the right angle pieces facing one another in parallel relation in order to define a slot therebetween that passes through said guide member on a path spanning along a lengthwise dimension thereof, and with second legs of the right angle pieces lying in coplanar relationship with one another to define a flat inner side of the guide member that faces toward the other guide member; a screw-type clamping mechanism comprising: whereby tightening of the threaded nuts on the pair of bolts with the first and second guide members disposed on opposing sides of the workpiece acts to clamp the flat inner sides of the first and second guide members flat against the workpiece from the opposing sides thereof to enable cross-wise cutting of the workpiece by insertion of the saw blade through the respective slots on the opposing sides of the workpiece and cutting into the workpiece along the path of said slots.
