  • Patent number: 8079357
    Abstract: A material cutting guide system for cutting predetermined widths of a material. The system includes a frame fixed in location and a pair of spaced apart parallel tracks. At least one horizontal member is movably affixed to the frame and has a distal end extending outwardly therefrom, the distal end being affixed to the tracks. The system includes a motive device adapted to move the tracks in a generally lateral direction to a new location toward the fixed frame in predetermined increments to change the location of the tracks.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7658187
    Abstract: A material cutting system for cutting predetermined widths of stone. The system includes a fixed frame that is solidly affixed to the stone in the ground. A set of tracks rest on the ground and are adjustably spaced apart to receive the wheels of a stone cutting machine to control the movement of the cutting machine along a straight line to make a cutting pass. A track adjusting system moves the tracks a predetermined distance to allow a subsequent pass to cut the stone. The track adjustment system includes a motive device, such as a winch, affixed to the fixed frame having cables that extend to the tracks such that operation of the winch moves the track laterally toward the fixed frame. The amount of movement is accurately controlled by a spacing member having a predetermined length that provides a gauge to control the lateral movement of the tracks.
