Abstract
There is disclosed a work clamp and tool guide assembly which comprises a base plate, a crossbar secured to, and extending transversely across, the undersurface of the base plate, first and second upright posts, one each at opposite ends of the crossbar, a guide rail with distal apertures received over the first and second upright posts and locks to fixedly secure the guide rail at preselected heights. The workpiece is clamped between the guide rail and the base plate and can be oriented for right angle cuts by a fence which extends along at least one side of the base plate. A work tool such as a router, saw and the like can be guided across the surface of the workpiece with its edge against the guide rail.
