Abstract: A saw guide (14') for controlling the linear path/direction of travel with respect to a reference on an object such as a board being cut, of a rotating saw blade is provided. The guide (14') includes a carriage (18') which carries a rod (44') along one longitudinal edge portion in the preferred embodiment. A travel control mechanism (50'), including a movable sleeve (78) slidably received by the rod (44') controls the direction of travel of the saw from a reference defined on an object to be cut. This mechanism (50') includes a protractor which is rotatably mounted on the sleeve (78). A mechanism for adjusting the rotational position of the protractor with respect to the rod is provided. The protractor can be readily stored above the carriage (18') as desired.This application is a Continuation-In-Part of application of Ser. No. 763,295, filed on Aug. 7, 1985, and due to issue on Nov. 25, 1986, with a U.S. Pat. No. of 4,624,054.

Abstract: A saw guide (14) for controlling the linear path/direction of travel with respect to a reference on an object such as a board being cut, of a rotating saw blade is provided. The guide (14) includes a carriage (18) which carries a sleeve (36) along one longitudinal edge portion in the preferred embodiment. A travel control mechanism controls the direction of travel of the saw from a reference defined on an object to be cut. This mechanism (50) includes a protractor which is rotatably mounted on one end portion of the rod (44). A mechanism for adjusting the rotational position of the protractor with respect to the rod is provided. The protractor can be readily stored above the carriage (18) as desired.
