This is not my cutter.
This curious machine from H.B. Rouse & Company, Chicago, is used when making corners on lead or rule strips. While the Rouse Lead and Rule is used for making straight cuts, the miter adds a bevel or angle where two pieces will be joined perpendicularly, such as in the creation of frames and borders. This description was obtained from an antique Printers machines website.
