Guide assembly for a hand-held power tool

摘要

A support fixture (10) for a hand-held power tool includes a base plate (12) and a guide plate assembly (14) supported for movement relative to the base plate to bring the working end of the power tool into contact with a workpiece on which the base plate is supported. The guide plate assembly (14) includes a tool support housing configured for supporting the body of the power tool, and an overthrow nut assembly (62) for threaded engagement with a threaded portion of the power tool adjacent the working end of the tool. The fixture includes a guide bushing (70) that is top-loaded into a bushing collar (68) defined in the base plate, in which the guide bushing (70) is configured to engage a template supported on the workpiece. A threaded plug (72) holds the guide bushing within the bushing collar.
