For cutting floor blocks to various lengths the accompanying illustration shows a simple wooden arrangement that can be used with a circular saw bench. A piece of wide board B is fixed with screws to two sliding pieces A, which must fit close to the edges of the table as shown. The fence pieces C should be firmly fixed to II with a few screws. The lengths of the pieces of wood to be sawn can be varied by the gauge block D, which is fastened to C by a bolt and wing nut. It will he seen that a slot is formed in C for the bolt to be moved backwards or forwards, as shown at E. Wheu set, the stuff can be placed against C (as indicated by the dotted lines) and the apparatus pushed forward so that the saw just cuts through the stuff; it can then be drawn back and the timber adjusted for cutting another block.
