Sort of the same idea but mine's a welded box with a shoe pivoted at
the rear. I'm pretty sure I got it from Princess Auto when they had a
presence(briefly) in the US. Replaces the normal blade guard just
like the HF jobbie. Kind of a pain changing wheels with it on.
Either one could follow a clamped-on guide for straight cuts, which is
the reason I got it in the first place.
