ABSTRACT:
A method for making a cutting guide, the cutting guide being formed from a measuring device and a sheet of material, with the measuring device having a top surface, a bottom surface, and p of graduations marked on one or the other of the top and bottom surfaces, with the sheet of material having a thickness in the range of 1 mm. to 5 mm. and further having adhesive on one side. The method includes measuring at least one cutting line on the step of material in accordance with predetermined dimensions; cutting the sheet of material along the cutting line to form of at least one piece of material having the predetermined dimensions; and forming a mechanical stop on the bottom surface of the measuring device by placing the adhesive side of the piece of material on the bottom surface of the measuring device. The cutting guide is formed from a base having a substantially plainer configuration with a top surface, and opposing bottom surface, and a sufficient thickness to guide a cutting tool along a side of the base and inhibit the cutting tool from riding over the top surface of the base; and one or more repositionable pieces of at least semiridged material removable attached to the bottom surface of the base.
