Using a Circular Saw on a UNIVERSAL TOOL TROLLEY
|
The
Universal Tool Trolley
greatly improves control,
accuracy and safety when
using a Circular Saw. The
Universal Tool Trolley
is made of aluminum
and anodized for a hard
durable finish. A set
of four self lubricated
linear bearings guide
the circular saw down
the rigid duplex rail
for a straight cut every
time.

 |
 |
The Zero-Clearance
Insert for non-fraying
cuts |
| Assembly
of the trolley entails
the attachment of four
linear bearings and four
cam-lock disks. The
Universal Tool Trolley
bearings capture the tubular-shaped
rail for smooth, non-binding
cut. Make a cut without
looking at the cut-line; just
walk along side of the
work piece as you make the
cut. |
 |
 |
A translucent
rail gage with a calibrated
kerf cut defines precisely
where the cut-line is for
easy positioning of the
rail on the work piece. Slideable
rail clamps secure the
rail to the work piece for
a very accurate cut. |
| The
Universal Tool Trolley
does not sacrifice depth
of cut. Using the
direct mount method, the
loss of depth of cut is
only 1/8-inch. Using
the Circular Saw Mounting
Plate, the loss of depth
of cut is only 1/4-inch. Compare
the EZ Smart, which measures
in at 1-inch loss of depth
of cut.

| The
Rail Clamp attaches to
the work piece and separately
to the rail enabling an
extended cut. Place
a rail clamp at mid-point,
cut to the end of the rail,
stop the saw keeping the
blade engaged in the work piece
Remove the end clamp and
loosen the horizontal L-bolt
of the center clamp to
allow the rail to slide
through the center clamp
and through the trolley
bearings to extend the
rail to the end of the
cut-line. Reattach
the end clamp that was
removed from the entrance
side of the cut to the
exiting side of the work piece |
 |
 |
| Rail
Clamps can be directly
mounted to any surface,
such as a floor, wall,
roof, deck, fence or any
other surface that you
intend to cut. One
of our customers uses six
extensions to cut concrete
surfaces using a concrete
saw mounted on a trolley. |

RIP, CROSSCUT & TRIM
|
|
|
|
Ripping a sheet of Melamine couldn't be any easier. No need to struggle with a heavy sheet goods on your table saw--lay the work piece on the floor or on a pair of saw horses and make the cut with ease. |
   |
| Trim the bottom of a door or cut a thin slice off the edge of your work piece or cut a straight edge on a piece of saw mill lumber. Nothing could be easier. |

Cross Cutting
|
|
|
|
|
Cut straight edges on saw mill lumber and cut lumber to finished dimensions |
|
|
|
| Using a Miter Shuttle clamped across the edge of the work piece to cut the miter on the end of the rails and cutting the mating miters in the stile in preparation for the mortise to be cut |
|
|
|
| Use a router to remove the waste material to the depth of the mitered rail end then remove the remaining beveled piece |
|
|
|
| Finished mitered cut on the edge of the door stile -- Ready for mortising using a Mortise Shuttle and router Trolley |
Dry fitting the door stile and rail to check the fit of the pieces. Edge shaping and cutting the groove for the raised panel still to be added. |
 |
 |
| Cutting multiple pieces is made easy. The shoulder cut on ten door rails was done with the Circular Saw Trolley in preparation for cutting the multiple tenons to final thickness. |
Tool Trolleys simplify making duplicate pieces. Whether making one or 100 pieces, they all come out the same.
