Abstract: A cutting guide for a power handsaw which cutting guide is of simple and inexpensive construction; is easily transported and used; and is particularly adapted to hold the material to be cut along the desired line of cut, whereby to prevent shivering upon cutting. This cutting guide includes an elongated support plate or strip, a guide ridge projecting from the top face of the support plate and forming a longitudinal guide for a power handsaw running lengthwise of the support plate. The opposite lateral edges of the support plate are arranged parallel and at predetermined and distinct spacings from the guide ridge.

Abstract: A miter table assembly adapted to produce miter cuts with a power saw, such as a circular handsaw, and which is particularly adapted to be safe to operate and readily collapsible for easy transportation from one job site to another. This miter table assembly comprises a table top, hollow legs pivoted to the table top, bars or struts each removably engaging a pair of legs to hold the same in operative position and stowable in a hollow leg for transportation, an elongated base with a channel extending transversely thereof, a guide frame pivoting on top of the elongated base about an upright pivot axis, defining a straight slot upwardly registering with the transverse channel and adapted to slidably support and guide a power handsaw, stopping devices secured to the guide frame to prevent falling of the saw at either end of the slot and allowing selective removal of the saw, and clamping levers on opposite sides of the channel and of the base to clamp both cut pieces of work on either side of the base.
