The saw is a Disston PHILADA medallion although the etch appears to be marked Millers Falls?? To put it into working trim I cleaned and lubricated and had the saw sharpened. I keep the saw blade waxed and it works great!Sgt42RHR Pappa_Bear_and_Baby_Bear.JPGPappa Bear and Baby Bear171 viewsHere are the big Stanley mitre box and the small unknown mitre box together for scale.Sgt42RHR Small_mitre_box_original_view.JPGSmall unmarked mitre box original bed171 viewsI have removed the scrap cherry bed that I've added to raise the cutting height because the saw is too short now. To steady the new bed I've got a couple of brads nailed into the bottom that I snipped off at about 1/8" so that it will not damge the original bed (appears to have fairly coarse sandpaper applied to it).Sgt42RHR Small_mitre_box_Disston_saw_reverse_view.JPGSmall unmarked mitre box and Disston saw-reverse view163 viewsHere is a good view of the back and right side. The bed is only 12 inches wide.Sgt42RHR Pre-WWI_Disston-small_unmarked_mitre_box.JPGPre-WW I Disston in an unmarked mitre box156 viewsThese two tools were together when I got them. The Disston saw has a PHILADA medallion, and is now too short to reach the top of the original bed. I cleaned both up, oiled and adjusted the mitre box, and it cuts like a charm.Sgt42RHR Small_mitre_box_plane_to_scale.JPGThis gives you some idea of size158 viewsThe bed of the mitre box is only 12 inches wide, the Stanley block plane puts things in better perspective.Sgt42RHR Starrett_12_inch_combination_square.JPGStarrett No. 4 Combination Square97 viewsWhen I got this many of the numerals were so rusty they were illegible and the slide would move only with great effort. It works perfectly now, the edge of rule is dead flat and the square is correct as well. Sgt42RHR   7 files on 1 page(s) Powered by Coppermine Photo Gallery and JoomBla!
