A combination carpenter's square and saw guide, and a conversion kit for converting an existing carpenter's square to such combination, utilizes a standard L-shaped square with a channel mounted on each leg of the square and extended in the same direction so that the channels are each extended in the X or Y direction and are on opposite faces of the flat carpenter's square. A rod is axially slidably inserted into each channel, and the distal end of the rod is extended out beyond the corner of the square a distance equal to the distance between the sole plate of a circular hand saw and the plane of the blade, and fixed in this position. The resulting tool is a carpenter's square which also acts as a convenient saw guide, as the workman can back off the square until the tip of the rod aligns with a pencil mark made at the cut line, and use the square for a saw fence. In kit form, a jig is used to produce appropriate bolt holes in the square and the channels which will accommodate either left- or right-handed construction. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The instant invention supplies the above-stated need. It is based on the square that the carpenter already owns, and in its kit form, which is the most easily described, it comprises a pair of elongated open channels and a slidable rod in each of the channels with a set screw in the channel to fix the rod at a selected length of extension from the end of the channel. The kit includes means to mount each channel on one of the legs of the carpenter's square so that the two channels are not only on opposite legs, but on opposite faces of the flat sheet metal that characterizes carpenter's squares. Each of the rods is extended out beyond the corner where the two legs join, a distance equal to the spacing between the sole plate of the saw which typically it rides on the fence, and the cutting plane of the rotating blade. Now all the carpenter has to do is to make a mark on a board edge indicating where the right angle cut should be made, and align the distal end of the respective rod with the check mark, and, using the carpenter's square itself as the saw fence, draw the saw across the board, where it makes an even orthogonal cut right at the tip of the respective rod extending from the channel. Provided the rod tip is at the cut-off check mark, there is no doubt that the cut will be at the right place, and the use of the carpenter's square as the saw guide insurers orthogonality of the cut. There is no need to try to see past the safety guide, and no (or at least less) temptation to remove it. Structure is also provided in the kit to ensure that the mounting of the channels on the square can be done to accommodate both left and right handed carpenters.
