Abstract: A portable cutting-guidance apparatus is used with a portable, hand-holdable power saw (20) to make an angle-cut in an object at a variably selected angle. A positioning device (300) is positioned motionless against the object being cut. The saw (20) travels on and along a cutting-guide (100) in a straight line. The linear cutting-guide 100 is pivotally connected to the positioning device 300 about a pivot point (400). The linear cutting guide (100) can be adjustably fastened to the positioning means (300) at a variably selected angle. The apparatus is able to be configured to have, as alternatives, either a right-hand and left-hand portable power saw attached for use with the apparatus.

Abstract: A portable cutting-guidance apparatus is used with a portable, hand-holdable power saw (20) to make an angle-cut in an object at a variably selected angle. A positioning device (300) is positioned motionless against the object being cut. The saw (20) travels on and along a cutting-guide (100) in a straight line. The linear cutting-guide (100) is pivotally connected to the positioning device (300) about a pivot point (400). The linear cutting guide (100) can be adjustably fastened to the positioning means (300) at a variably selected angle. The positioning device (300) can be positioned and held against the object purely by the manual force of the user, which includes force with which the user pushes the power saw forwards along the cutting-guide to cut the object. The pivot point (400) is located a distance (y) away from the leading edge of the linear cutting-guide (100) to provide improved performance.
