Beg to call the attention of the Public to their newly-invented
Ornamental Wood and Metal Cutting Machine. Its extreme simplicity of
construction precluding the possibility of speedily getting out of
order, having no springs, and its peculiar adaptability to all kinds
of fret-work render it at once an acquisition and an indispensability
where accuracy, expedition, and high finish are required. The working
is exceedingly easy, requiring no more exertion than an ordinary
Sewing Machine for ladies' use, and making as little noise. Its great
utility, combined with neatness of construction, fits it not only
for the workshop, but the drawing-room of the amateur. The saw takes
the place of a pencil in the hands of the operator, enabling him to
produce the most elaborate artistic designs in wood-work. Box or other
hard texture woods, 1 inch thick, are as readily sawn through as the
finest veneer; metallic plates of 1/8 inch thick are also speedily
pierced. Magnificent specimens executed by this machine, which have
been universally admired for their extreme delicacy and perfection,
and acknowledged to be unrivalled, may be seen at the inventor's
address. The length of stroke of the saw can be varied to the work
in hand. A simple mechanical contrivance is attached for blowing the
sawdust from the saw whilst working, also a Circular Saw.
An equally valuable invention is W. J. C. & Co.'s PATENTED
DRILLING APPARATUS which is with the greatest advantage combined
with the Sawing Machine, enhancing and enlarging its range of
usefulness, or it may be adapted to a lathe, or as a distinct machine.
Its great advantages over the ordinary lathe for drilling purposes
must be apparent when by the addition of this apparatus to a 5 inch
centre lathe the operator is enabled to drill in the centre of three
or more feet, and the drill being vertical and worked by leverage,
greater accuracy and facility is ensured. For ornamental purposes it
surpasses all hitherto contrived methods, not being limited to one
centre around which to describe curves, angles, circles, or any other
mathematical figure, the operator is at perfect liberty to describe
every conceivable device the fancy can dictate.
