The following is the text of the article:
We illustrate on this page, Fig. I, a new variety saw with bevel table, built by the Egan Company, 221?241 W. Front street, Cincinnati, Ohio. The machine, being all iron and steel, the great variety of work it can be adapted to, and the precision and accuracy with which it can be handled, the convenience of adjustment, and the strength and durability of all its parts, stamp it as a standard machine for ripping, cross-cutting, beveling, cropping, grooving, mitering, &c. The machine is self-contained, the frame being a cored pedestal supporting the table carrying the counter-shaft. The table is of cast iron, well ribbed and braced, and can be set at right angles with the saw, or adjusted to any bevel up to 45~. The table is raised and lowered in planed, gibbed ways, with adjustment for wear. The mandrel is of best cast steel, and runs in self oiling boxes. The fences can be used on either side of saw, giving the operator every advantage and convenience, especially when using the table on a bevel. This point will be appreciated by the practical sawyer. A 14 inch saw is generally furnished with the machine, and should run 3000. Furniture, Chair and bracket factories, planing mills, carpenters, pattern and wood shops of all kinds will probably find this a desirable addition to their machinery, and a quickly adjusted saw for almost any purpose. The counter-shaft is on the main frame.
