Abstract
A system includes a first tool having a base, a nut, and a tool guide. The base extends from a first end to a second end and includes at least one thread disposed along a length thereof. The first end includes a foot having a widthwise dimension that is greater than a diameter of the at least one thread. The nut is configured to be disposed along the length of the base and to engage at least one thread. The tool guide is configured to be slideably disposed along the length of the base and has a body including a flange portion. The flange portion defines an opening for receiving at least one of a pin and a cutting tool. Rotation of the first nut causes the nut to translate along the length of the base thereby causing the tool guide to move along the length of the base.
