Abstract: A clamping cutting guide to assist a carpenter in performing various wood techniques comprises a guide plate, a pair of guide rods, and a spring-loaded clamping portion. The guide rods extend perpendicularly downward along side areas and are inserted into respective springs to provide a clamping force to the stationary guide plate and a mobile clamping plate. The cutting guide also comprises a pair of pivoting handles open the clamp portions during loading/unloading of a desired object to be cut, thereby allowing a user to operate the guide using a single hand.
