Information Sources

There is lots of historical information available on this maker, such as The James Swan page on WK Fine Tools. Because our interest in Swan is only due to one of their lesser-known products, we leave the company history to those with a greater interest in the firm.

PLEASE NOTE: VintageMachinery.org was founded as a public service to amateur and professional woodworkers who enjoy using and/or restoring vintage machinery. Our purpose is to provide information about vintage machinery that is generally difficult to locate. VintageMachinery.org does not provide support or parts for any machines on this site nor do we represent any manufacturer listed on this site in any way. Catalogs, manuals and any other literature that is available on this site is made available for a historical record only. Please remember that safety standards have changed over the years and information in old manuals as well as the old machines themselves may not meet modern standards. It is up to the individual user to use good judgment and to safely operate old machinery. The VintageMachinery.org web site will assume no responsibilities for damages or injuries resulting from information obtained from this site.
