The cut shows a newly designed Saw Bench arranged with 2 Arbors for carrying a Cut-off and a Rip Saw at the same time. It is a finely made tool, the workmanship and finish being of the best quality.

This Gauge is adjustable to a miter, is accurately stopped at both miter and square, and can be set at any intermediate angle. Cut-off Gauges are provided, one of which is adjustable to a miter, and they may be used on either side of the saw.. Adjustable Screws are convenient, the shifting of both Arbors being done instantly. Arbors are 11 in. diem., Col tars 4 in. diam. A large Throat PIate admits both saws, and an iron plate fills the opening. One Arbor extends beyond the nut to accommodate Cutter Heads of various kinds.


A Screw Adjustment for end play is provided on the Arbor. Ordinarily Saws of 16 in. diam. are used. A 10 in. Saw projects 2 in. above the table.
Price includes one each, Cross Cut and Rip Saw 16 in. diam., and Counter-shaft. Weight of machine, 1250 lbs.
Price, $170.00. End Stop Gauges extra, $6.35.

WOOD SAWS.
The machines represented in Figs. 4072 and 4077 are presumably the finest Sawing Machines that are made, em-bracing all modern improvements, and intended for the most accurate kinds of work that can be done with a saw. It seems like taking a step from " The Sublime to the Ridiculous" when we go from them, and take up the ordinary Wood Saws which are used mainly for rough work, such as sawing fence posts, cord-wood, etc., etc.
The following machines are sold very extensively in country districts; are light but strong, and can be easily moved. Are very often used in connection with windmills. The frame is a combination of iron and wood; the arbor on sizes "A" and "B" is of 11 in. steel; sizes "B" "C" and "H", 1 in. steel; sizes "E" and "F", 1j- in. steel. The cut shows styles "G", "H" and "F". Prices include Saw.
