Abstract
The present invention is a saw guiding device for guiding a power saw when cutting a workpiece in the form of either a flat board or an I-beam. The saw guiding device comprises a base member which is to be disposed across end caps of an I-beam. A straight saw guiding surface of the base member is configured such that a power saw can be engaged therewith and slidably moved therealong to thereby guide the power saw in a straight line as it cuts the I-beam. The base member includes an upwardly facing saw supporting surface disposed adjacent the straight saw guiding surface. The upwardly facing saw supporting surface is constructed and arranged to support the power saw as it is engaged with and slidably moved along the straight saw guiding surface between the end caps of the I-beam. The base member has a workpiece edge engaging structure extending downwardly therefrom. A movable workpiece edge engaging structure is constructed and arranged to be moved through a range of operative positions. The movable workpiece engaging structure is fixable at various locations within the operative range. Both the workpiece edge engaging structure and the movable workpiece edge engaging structure are …
