Abstract: A router guide 26 includes a subbase plate 28 coupled to a guide element 68 by a pair of rods 30 and 32. A pair of guide surfaces 124 and 136 are located on guide element 68 adjacent subbase plate 28 when the guide element is in a first position for use in linear cutting and edge planing operations. A guide bar 182 with trammel point 196 is located adjustably on one surface of guide element 68 for use in a curvilinear cutting operation when the guide element is in a second position which is inverted from the first position. Another pair of guide surfaces 202 and 204 are located on the guide element 68 for use in trimming of internal angle surfaces when the guide element is in a third position which is revolved from the first position.

Abstract: A cord caddy for carrying or storing a dispensable length of cord wherein the cord caddy includes a multi-layered reel disposed within an open-faced pan shaped housing. The cord or other flexible member will be coiled about the reel in upper and lower chambers thereof so as to be unwound (dispensed) therefrom whenever it is desired to use the extension cord. The reel will be free to oscillate within the housing during the dispensing of the cord therefrom. A cord stake will fix one free end of the cord while the opposite end is pulled so that during oscillation of the reel within the housing the housing will partake of the sliding translatory motion along the ground a distance that amounts to one-half of the total length of the cord exiting from the housing. The cord is free to rotate within the housing during the dispensing of the cord therefrom.
