FOOT‐POWER MACHINERY.
COMPLETE OUTFITS for CONTRACTORS and BUILDERS.
Machines for ripping, cross‐cutting, scroll‐sawing, mortising and tenoning, forming edges, grooving, gaining, rabbeting, cutting dadoes, and turning. Builders use our Hand Circular Rip Saw for the greater portion of their ripping in preference to carting their lumber to a mill five minute’s drive from their shops. The same is true in regard to scroll sawing, mortising, tenoning, cutting stuff for drawers, boxes, etc. Builders using these machines can bid lower and save more money from their contracts than by any other means.
Read the Following Letters from Builders:
Clarence F. Lee, carpenter and builder, Morristown, N. J., says: “I have had one of your Hand Circular Rip‐Saws for about three months, and am much pleased with it. Have done the ripping for 15 houses in that time, which is over forty miles through inch boards. Have ripped as high as 3‐inch plank. Table is also good for rabbeting; having rabbeted all jambs and sawed all drips for 200 windows.”
Alex. Shields, Lima, Ohio, says: “A few days since we had some 150 small drawers to make for a drug store; the steam power mill wanted 50 cents each for making them. With my foot power machinery I made them, and saved $25 above good wages on the job.
If desired, these machines will be sold ON TRIAL.
The purchaser can have ample time to test them in his own shop and on the work he wishes them to do. Descriptive Catalogue and Price List Free.

Shimer’s Variety Moulder, with
Surface Moulding Attachment.
FOR SINKING panels with pattern guided by pin that automatically takes its position when you start the Machine, and drops out of the way when you stop it. The Cutter in the overhanging arm of the Machine has a perpendicular adjustment of one inch, and is operated by the handle shown in the cut attached to an eccentric lever that is automatically locked to the one position when at work.
TO CHANGE from Surface Moulder to Variety Moulder, disconnect the rod that runs the incline on the T lever and pin it up. Run the housing up by means of the hand wheel until it stands above the belt line, remove the one spindle, substitute the other and set screw it to the housing. Turn the small table back under the arm. Raise the arm, disconnect the shaft that runs the upper pulley, and the Machine becomes an Edge Moulder without having any of its parts unbolted and laid away.
You never tire of the make up of this Machine, which is as simple and effective as it is durable.
Reversible Cutters for any shape of mould made to order, and warranted to cut free and easy.
