Miscellaneous Tools

My miscellaneous Tools section contains anything that is not a plane, rule, or level. There are many interesting items here, including (at times) treadle equipment, gauges, calipers and other machinist tools, chisels, hammers, saws, squares, and more. Inventory is constantly changing, so if you don't see what you want, stop back again another time!

Very cool Schrofter Brothers jig saw, similar to the Barnes #1 Amateur Saw, but alot rarer (of course, the Barnes is not exactly common either!). Some parts may be repainted, but this is not all certain, this may be original paint. Patented Feb. 1876. Slight repair on non-structural piece that is now virtually unnoticable. Fully functional, and a great looker. This item will incur additional shipping costs or you arrange pickup. Good+ $2050 ORDER

Amazing old Chronite engraving machine, can take any font or pattern and size it up or down to fit in any space you want engraved. Works, but needs cleaning/lubrication. You can learn about the company history at http://www.cronite.com/company.htm. Here is what Chronite says about this machine: "The advanced design of the Zero® Engraving Machine makes available to you the smoothest, most accurate, fastest tracing ever produced. You will glide along as you trace through the mechanical acid resist prior to etching. Letter sizes from the largest down to a pin point (zero) can be traced with extreme accuracy at high speed. The Zero® Engraving Machine also includes other advanced patented features." You can still get masterplates for use on the machine from Chronite. Shipping extra on this one. Good+ $1500 ORDER
