Lester Scroll Saw and Lathe. Price $10; for $12 in new subscriptions.
Considered the best and most complete of the saws to be got for less than $20.
With nickeled tilting table; roller in table back of the saw which makes it run remarkably true; clamps hold any thickness of saw; clamps adjustable right or left, forward or back so that the blade can be kept in perfect line; with 3-inch circular saw on 3x4-inch iron table capable of cutting half-inch lumber; solid emery wheel; drilling attachment with six Stubbs drills; lathe attachment with iron ways and rests, steel centers and three fine turning tools—length of bed 15 inches, distance between centers 9 inches, swing 3 inches, length of slide-rest 4 inches; six saw-blades, wrench, screw-driver, two sheets of designs; neat box for small tools; guide.
A very important recent invention used in this machine is a clamp and strainer in one, by which at a touch of a lever the saw-blade is instantly clamped and strained. The remarkable accuracy of this saw is due to the roller in the table, another recent invention.
