ARRANGEMENT FOR CUTTING A WORKPIECE

摘要

The invention is directed to an arrangement for cutting a workpiece with a portable tool such as a circular saw, router or the like and includes a supporting structure and a pair of elongated vise members mounted on the supporting structure. The vise members are disposed in side by side relation to each other and define a substantially smooth upper surface upon which the workpiece can be placed. At least one of the vise members is mounted on supporting structure so as to be movable relative to the other one of the vise members. An elongated track member defines the cutting path and is adapted for insertion between the vise members. A clamping arrangement is included for adjusting the vise members with respect to each other to clamp the track member therebetween. An elongated workpiece guide arm is pivotally mounted to the track member for angularly positioning the workpiece in the path defined by the track member. A mounting sled slideably engages the track member for movement therealong and is adapted to receive the portable tool thereon so as to cause the cutting element of the tool to be movable with the sled along the cutting path and into the workpiece.
