    Straight Cutting Pattern

    Circle Cutting Pattern

    Style B guides are for making straight, beveled, and circular cuts. For straight or beveled cuts, attach a jigsaw or circular saw to the guide and use the slide like a T-square to keep your blade at a set distance from the edge as you cut. The guide has a range of 1" to 111/2" for jigsaws and 1" to 14" for circular saws. For circular cuts, use this guide like a compass and pencil to create a perfect circle between 6" and 24" in diameter. Drill a pilot hole in your workpiece at the center of the hole. One end of the guide fits into the pilot, and a jigsaw mounts to the other end. This keeps the blade at a fixed distance from the pivot as you cut. While cutting, use your free hand to ensure the saw stays in place.

    Electric Circular Saws for Metal

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Circular Saws. Electric Circular Saws for Metal.
    Make long, straight cuts into steel sheets, structural framing, and other metal components. These handheld saws are good for longer cuts than chop saws. At a low speed, they’ll cut without burrs or excessive heat—no coolant required. They’ll also produce fewer sparks than saws with abrasive wheels. To keep your workspace clean, all can either blow metal chips out of the way or collect them during cutting.
    Evolution—Evolution saws have a high-torque motor that powers the blade more efficiently than our other saws. This makes them the best choice for cutting hard, thick metal.
    Fein 6 99 08 120 00 1—Fein 6 99 08 120 00 1 saws have a high-torque motor that powers the blade more efficiently than our other saws. This makes them the best choice for cutting hard, thick metal.
    Brake—Saws with a brake stop rotating soon after you release the trigger, so you can quickly reposition your workpiece and make the next cut.

    Dual-Wheel Vertical Band Saw Blade Guides

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Band Saw Blade Guides. Dual-Wheel Vertical Band Saw Blade Guides.
    Two ball bearing wheels support band saw blades and accurately guide straight and contoured cuts in more rugged-duty applications than a single wheel guide. They adjust to fit various blade widths and thicknesses and adapt for right- and left-hand mounting near the top or bottom wheel. Mounting holes on the back of each guide fit onto your saw's mounting stud, and set screws lock the guide in place. These guides fit most band saws.

    Style A

    Router Guide

    Make precise circular cuts with your router. These guides help you cut arcs at a specific distance from a set point—they’re often used to create the rounded edges of a workpiece.
    Style A

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Router Guides. Style A.

    Circle Cutting Pattern

    Style A guides include a base plate that’s compatible with plunge-base routers. To set up your cut, mount the base plate to your router, drill a starter hole for the centering pin, and connect a circle guide between the pin and base plate. Once connected, the guide holds the router at the correct distance from the circle center. Use the small circle guide to make 1 1/2"-12" diameter cuts; the large circle guide makes cuts with a 10"-52" diameter. These kits include a router bit and drill bit as well as an offset base for improved stability while finishing edges.
