Antique Woodworking Tools 1897 : Hand Power Circular SawPrevious | Woodworking Tools Index | Next |
This machine we have sold for up-wards of twenty years, and while during that
time there have been a great many different styles, up to within a few years
ago it was the only foot power circular machine that could be considered as
first-class in all respects. In fact, at the present time we believe there
is but one machine that equals it, and that is the one shown in Fig. 4057.
This last named machine has one ad-vantage, in that it can be supplied with
Self-Feed Ripping device, Scroll Saw Attachment, and Moulding Attachment. The
only attachment that can be furnished with the Hand and Foot Power Circular
Saw is the Boring Attachment.
The table is 28x37 in.; the grooves for gauges are planed in an iron top, which
is 10 in. wide. Gauge tongues are of steel and accurately fitted. The 20 in.
and 5 in. gears are of iron, the 2 in. pinion of gun metal, and all gears are
carefully turned and accurately cut.
We recently had one of these machines sent in for repairs that had been used
constantly and hard for eighteen years. The cost of repairing was about $10.00,
and the machino was then practically as good as new.
No. 1 machine, $54.00; with Boring Attachment and Side Treadle, as shown in
cut, $60.00. Price includes one each, 7 in. Cross-Cut and Rip Saws, 2 Cutting
off Gauges, one Rip Gauge, 2 Crank Handles and Wrench. Weight, 420 lbs.
No. 2 machine is identical with No. 1, excepting that it has a heavier balance
wheel, giving more power. Is sold at an additional cost of $4.50.
POWER SAWING MACHINERY.
FIG. 4062. POWER CIRCULAR SAW.
This is practically the same machine as the one shown in the foregoing cut,
but arranged for power only. The pulley is 3 inches in diam., 4 in. wide and
is placed on an arbor between the bearings. Although not very heavy, it is
a well made machine, and for medium and light work will prove a very desirable
one.
Machine only, $36.00; Countershaft, if desired, $13.50; Boring Table, $5.00.

of steel. They are furnished with pulley between the bearings,or outside as
may be preferred, also with Patent Combination Saw Gauge. The Tables are made
in six sizes, as follows. No. 3 weighs 400 lbs.

IMPROVED COMBINATION SLITTING
AND CUT-OFF SAW TABLE.
In above cut machine is arranged for cross-cutting. The bed is mounted on Patent
Roller Bearings in such a manner that the whole table is made to move back and
forth, carrying the work absolutely square with the saw. The table runs so easily,
it requires less than one pound pressure to move it under any load, from one
to 300 lbs. The frame work is made of black birch and rock maple, thoroughly
seasoned and kiln-dried; the bed is glued-up of narrow strips and securely fastened
to heavy iron cleats, so it cannot warp or split. A throat 5 in. wide is placed
in each table ; this is quickly removed for dado cutting and all similar work.
No. 1, $67.50, has bed 33x46 in.; is suitable for saws from 8 to 12 in. diam.

FIG. 4067. SAW GUARD.
It would seem unnecessary for us to expatiate upon the necessity of a reliable
protection from accident on Circular Saws. This device not only does away
