Abstract:

A saw guide to enable a user to cut a straight line using a hand saw consists of a base having a slot formed therein which divides the base into first and second side-by-side sections. A fixed guide is mounted above the first section, with the central portion thereof being spaced apart from the base to form a cavity into which the board or other work to be cut is inserted. An adjustable guide is mounted above the second section, with the central portion thereof forming an adjustable cavity through which the board cut project. The adjustable guide includes manually operable adjustment knobs at the upper end of threaded bolts which extend through the ends of the adjustable guide and, at their lower ends, screw into threaded collars in bores within the base. As the knobs are turned, the adjustable guide descends, thereby decreasing the height of the adjustable cavity until the adjustable guide clamps against the board and holds it tightly against the base. A narrow space is formed between the inner ends of the fixed and adjustable guides.
