<p>A template (14) for cutting elongate workpieces such as a fence post (10) comprising a sleeve (12) of galvanised steel or the like shaped and dimensioned to fit over the workpiece and to be secured at any desired position along the length of the workpiece by fixing means such as a screw (20). The template comprises guide slots such as (16, 18, 19) for cutting the workpiece to a desired length, or shaping its ends. By positioning the template at different locations on the workpiece, inverting it and/or rotating it about its longitudinal axis, the end of a workpiece can be cut to a variety of shapes. The template can also be used for making joints in various configurations, by cutting workpieces at different angles.</p> |
