The present invention relates to carpentry aids for doing trim work and more particularly to a miter frame for a circular saw that includes a molded plastic frame including a box having external dimension of ab out seven inches wide, six inches high and twenty-one inches long along a long side and about fifteen inches long along the short side; the interior dimensions of the box being approximately two and one-quarter inches deep on both sides and six inches wide; each side of the box is provided with a first saw blade guide oriented at ninety degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides and a second saw blade guide oriented at an angle “A” of forty-five degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides; use of two sides allows trim to be cut while the box is positioned on the ground; a square end of the box is provided with a forty-five degree undercut guide so that the saw blade may be tilted at a forty-five degree angle to allow ninety degree cut trim to be provided with a forty-five degree face forming ninety degree corners with two pieces of trim.
Most trim carpentry work is done on site and most of the cuts made are straight cuts, ninety degree cuts with a forty-five degree undercut, or a forty five degree cut. It would be desirable, therefore, to have a molded plastic miter box that could be used in conjunction with a circular saw so that the trim carpenter would not need an expensive miter saw which could easily be stolen or damaged at the construction site.
It is thus an object of the invention to provide a miter frame for a circular saw that includes a molded plastic frame including a box having external dimension of about seven inches wide, six inches high and twenty-one inches long along a long side and about fifteen inches long along the short side; the interior dimensions of the box being approximately two and one-quarter inches deep on both sides and six inches wide; each side of the box is provided with a first saw blade guide oriented at ninety degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides and a second saw blade guide oriented at an angle “A” of forty-five degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides; use of two sides allows trim to be cut while the box is positioned on the ground; a square end of the box is provided with a forty-five degree undercut guide so that the saw blade may be tilted at a forty-five degree angle to allow ninety degree cut trim to be provided with a forty-five degree face forming ninety degree corners with two pieces of trim.
Accordingly, a miter frame for a circular saw is provided. The miter frame for a circular saw includes a molded plastic frame including a box having external dimension of about desert inches wide, six inches high and twenty-one inches long along a long side and about fifteen inches long along the short side; the interior dimensions of the box being approximately two and one-quarter inches deep on both sides and six inches wide; each side of the box is provided with a first saw blade guide oriented at ninety degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides and a second saw blade guide oriented at an angle “A” of forty-five degrees with respect to the longer and the shorter sides; use of two sides allows trim to be cut while the box is positioned on the ground; a square end of the box is provided with a forty-five degree undercut guide so that the saw blade may be tilted at a forty-five degree angle to allow ninety degree cut trim to be provided with a forty-five degree face forming ninety degree corners with two pieces of trim.
