New Iron Frame Rip Saw
The Iron Frame Rip Saw, with patent adjustable fence, and hinged table, shown in the second illustration, is built by the same makers. The frame is of best quality cast iron, very strongly ribbed, making a very stiff and strong support for the mandrel. An extra curved crosspiece is put in the center to strengthen the bearing for the mandrel.
The table is made of alternate strips of cherry and walnut, is extra-long and hinged at one end, and can be raised or lowered by a raising screw at end, or can be instantly lifted up. A ratchet or rack, with a patent spring at its back, holds the table wherever wanted, without loosening or tightening any bolt. This will be found very convenient for oiling or interchanging saws.
The patent fence is another good point on this machine. It can be instantly angled to any point. An iron plate is let into the wood table for the fence to slide on, allowing it to have greater range of adjustment, and holding it firmly.
The connected boxes on mandrels have patent self-oiling boxes. Pulley on No. 1 saw is 4 inches in diameter, 5 inches face and is intended to run 2,700 revolutions. |
