Cutting direction indicator

Cutting direction indicator for using cut-off machines over long distances

Cut line indicators allow an operator to more accurately relatively position a workpiece and a cutting element, such as a saw blade, to cut the workpiece. However, with conventional cut line indicators great skill and care must be exercised by the operator to cut only at the desired location on the workpiece. Time and training is required to develop this necessary skill. When cutting using such equipment, even a skilled operator must take the time to carefully align the workpiece for an accurate cut using conventional equipment, and even then a skilled operator may miscut a workpiece due to incorrect estimation of the alignment of the saw blade and the workpiece.
