It helps keep a backsaw square to a workpiece and is particularly useful when crosscutting tenon shoulders or defining the edges of a dado where a straight, true cut matters.
Three embedded 1/2" diameter rare-earth magnets in the reference face help maintain contact between the saw and the guide, while a low-friction UHMW tape strip lets the saw glide smoothly along that face.
No, you can hold the guide against the workpiece by hand, though securing it with clamps (not included) can help maintain accuracy throughout longer or repeated cuts.
