ABSTRACT:
A saw guide for hand-held circular saws that aids the saw user in making straight cross and angled cuts. The guide utilizes a slotted saw track upon which the circular saw rests the base of the saw aligning flush against side walls of the track. The saw track is initially elevated above the workpiece by a spring loaded track support member and is brought in contact with the workpiece under a nominal downward force supplied by the saw user. Once the track is in contact with the workpiece, the saw is pushed along the track, its blade cutting through the underlying workpiece through a slot in the track, the track returning to its elevated position after the cut is completed. The track support member also employs a rotational coupling device with which the saw track may be locked in various angular positions relative to the workpiece for use when making angled cuts. For aligning the workpiece prior to cutting, the saw guide utilizes a floating fence which is brought flush with the top of the workpiece by the saw track when the track is pushed downward for a cut. To aid the saw user in setting the blade depth, the saw guide also includes a blade depth setting device with depth indicia printed thereon.
