Abstract

A guide device for a hand circular saw or the like has a guide plate with a non-slip coating on its lower face to make contact with the work, and a foot plate running along the guide plate and carrying the saw or the like thereon. The foot plate has a recess thereon which enables it to completely straddle the guide plate while giving lateral guidance. In the recess there are spring loaded rollers or shoes pressing on the guide plate.
