ABSTRACT:
A measuring scale is disclosed for use in connection with a mitre saw, a cut-off saw, and similar cutting implement which includes a support surface on which a piece of wood to be cut is placed, and a saw blade operable to cut such a piece of wood. The measuring scale includes an upstanding backstop disposed to extend laterally in one direction from the saw blade above the support surface, against which the piece of wood may be placed for cutting, and a coilable tape measure having a casing for mounting on the backstop and a coiled tape disposed in the casing so that a free end thereof may be grasped to allow pulling the tape outwardly from the casing in the one direction. A marking is incribed in the backstop at a location on the other side of the casing from the saw blade. A scale is inscribed on the coiled tape and includes indicia for indicating the length of the piece of wood being cut when the free end of the tape is aligned with the adjacent end of the piece of wood. In particular, the indicia on the tape aligned with the marking on the backstop, when the free end of the tape is aligned with the end of a piece of wood, indicates the length of the piece being cut.
