The Demas Lathe and Saw.
—New and-Improved.—In this most useful Premium we offer an amateur Turning Lathe and Bracket Saw, both being thoroughly practical, and at a price that puts the machine within the reach of all. This machine is made by the manufacturer of the " Holly," Mr. A. H. Sihpman, Rochester, N. Y. a fact which at once commends it to the public. The same principles are followed as in the Holly, except that being heavier, it has more power for heavier work, but still does the very finest and most delicate. The saw can be thrown in and out of position in five seconds, and both saw and lathe can be run at the same time; the saw runs with great velocity, and will hold the finest blade for most delicate work, or with a coarse blade cut 2½ Inch stuff; it has a nickel plated Tilting Table. The bed of ihe Lathe is 2 ft long by 5½I in. wide and 2½ in. deep, built on the same principle as a machinist's lathe, with moulding at top or bottom ; it has V-shaped ways for head and tall-block, possessed by no other amateur lathe, and all know its advantage; It will turn a block 5½ In. diameter by 16 in. long—very large for an amateur lathe. The spindle for head-block is steel, nicely fitted up with collars. Spur-center, and screw for attaching different chucks, has cone-pulley with two lifts, one for light work, the other for heavy work. It has a solid Emery Wheel 3½ in. by ¾in. face, which acts as a family Grind-stone, and is also of great importance In roughing off work. Like many other points, this is novel with this manufacture; with this, a piece may be roughed off nearly as fast and as well as If it were driven by power—and work can be done with this that would otherwise be almost impossible. The tail-block has steel spindle with balance ball handle, for adjusting, and a knurled set screw for holding in position; it has double rests, one 4 in. for short, and 12 in. for bedstead stuff, croquet handles, etc.; these rests are adjustable in every conceivable position. It has a heavy balance-wheel with two grooves, and is mounted upon two well shaped and braced sides. When all set up, it is claimed that it make the largest, most powerful, and while in operation the most steady Amateur Lathe and Saw in the market. Its combination of chucks are novel, and are only furnished with this machine. And with the Illustrated Manual which accompanies each will be found such full instructions as will enable almost any one to become a professional in both turning and sawing. The price of this most valuable and useful premium is only $8.00. We will present one complete for ten subscribers sent to us at f 1.50 each.—(Or wo will supply one tot $8.) The freight in either case to be paid by receiver. |
