  • Patent number: 5427006
    Abstract: A saw guide for hand-held circular saws that aids the saw user in making straight cross and angled cuts. The guide utilizes a slotted saw track upon which the circular saw rests the base of the saw aligning flush against side walls of the track. The saw track is initially elevated above the workpiece by a spring loaded track support member and is brought in contact with the workpiece under a nominal downward force supplied by the saw user. Once the track is in contact with the workpiece, the saw is pushed along the track, its blade cutting through the underlying workpiece through a slot in the track, the track returning to its elevated position after the cut is completed. The track support member also employs a rotational coupling device with which the saw track may be locked in various angular positions relative to the workpiece for use when making angled cuts.
