Magnetic Saw Guide
Magnetic Saw Guide
The Magnetic Saw Guide helps woodworkers make clean cuts at compound angles using a handsaw.
No need to carry a miter box, special saws or electrical power. The Magnetic Saw Guide sets up in seconds and uses your existing hand saw. The Magnetic Saw Guide is compact, rugged and folds flat for storage.
To use the Magnetic Saw Guide:
Set the miter angle and tighten the black knob. Clamp the saw guide keeping the top miter plate square with the wood. |
Set the bevel angle from -45° to +45°, using the scale on the hinge. Tighten the orange handle. Let a hand saw snap against the rollers. |
The magnet grabs the saw making a satisfying ‘snap’ against the rollers, allowing natural sawing motion. The magnet is recessed, so there is no scraping. Once the user gets the feel for the sawing plane, the device lets the saw slowly drift into the wood to provide a clean cut at the desired compound angle. A “V” groove on the bottom aligns dowels, railings and other round stock.
Keep a HinesLab Magnetic Saw Guide in your tool box for that next picnic table or Hughes “Spruce Goose” 8-engine airplane.
