This season we offer to our subscribers the New Rogers’ Scroll Saw, which the manufacturers declare to be the best cheap saw ever offered to the public.
The latest improvements on this Saw are Pratt’s Rubber Positive Blower and a new Clamp for holding the Saw Blades.
The entire framework is made from Iron, painted and Japanned black, and ornamented with red and gilt stripes.
All parts made to interchange.
1. The Bearings to the Arms are carefully sized to bring them in perfect line. (This is a vital point in the construction of any Jig Saw).
2. Each machine is provided with a Dust Blower, which is a very great advantage.
3. Our machine has a jointed Stretcher Rod, which allows the operator to throw the upper arm out of the way when adjusting his work or saw. This joint also permits the machine to work much more freely than with a straight iron rod.
4. Our clamps have a hinged jaw which overcomes the disagreeable raking overthrow of the blade, which is unavoidable when the saws are secured rigidly to the arms. Saw blades are not nearly so liable to break when clamps have this joint. Thus a large percentage of the expense of running the saw is saved. Besides this the saw runs much easier, the swing coming at the hinge instead of bending the blade with each stroke of the saw.
