Abstract: A guide for a fastener hand tool is disclosed including a truck having slidable engagement with a track affixed to the fastener hand tool. The slidable engagement comprises mated interlocking geometries between the truck and the track. A clamping mechanism is disposed on the truck for temporarily clamping opposing sides of the truck to the track at a desired position along the track and a contact piece having a non-marring, wear resistant surface is affixed to the truck. The contact piece is disposed for referencing against a guiding edge for a workpiece relative to the fastener delivery point. The truck can comprise a symmetrical shape such that the truck can be alternately engaged to the track with the clamping mechanism on a left side of the fastener hand tool or with the clamping mechanism on a right side of the fastener hand tool.

Abstract: A hand tool for end cutting and edge trimming of edgebanding, veneer and the like comprising a handle, a first generally L-shaped cutting blade mounted on said handle and having a curved cutting surface at the intersection of the legs thereof, together with a second blade extending obliquely across the axis of the tool and having the cutting edge of the second blade facing oppositely to the cutting edge of the first blade.

Abstract: A portable electric cutting and scoring saw for use on laminated or veneer products is disclosed. The scoring saw is disposed in front of the cutting saw and turns in the opposite direction. The saw is designed primarily for the craftsman cabinet maker where the use of large industrial bench saws is not feasible. In one embodiment, the scoring saw cuts at a fixed depth and the cutting saw depth of cut can be varied by changing the blade with one of a different diameter. In another embodiment, the cutting and scoring saw depth of cut and angle of cut can be adjusted simultaneously with depth and tilt adjustments. In addition, in this embodiment, the saw motor can be easily removed and replaced with one of different horsepower and R.P.M. In yet another embodiment the electric motor has a battery power-pack attached thereto that can be readily recharged. The battery power-pack makes the portable electric cutting and scoring saw completely self contained.

Abstract: A portable electric cutting and scoring saw for use on laminated or veneer products is disclosed. The scoring saw is disposed in front of the cutting saw and turns in the opposite direction. The saw is designed primarily for an on-the-job cabinet maker where the use of large industrial bench saws are not feasible. The scoring saw cuts at a fixed depth and the cutting saw depth of cut can be varied by changing the blade with a different diameter. The laminate or veneer to be cut is bonded to the workpiece and the scoring saw eliminates chipping of the laminate or veneer. The scoring saw and the cutting saw lie in the same plane.
