Neat tool

[gregww]

Well, I think it's neat anyway. I bought this probably 20 years ago at an auction. Custom cabinet company going out of business. Don't have a clue what I paid for it, but I'm sure it wasn't over $50. I can't describe to you how sharp these blades are. It's unbelievable. You can trim a piece of brick mold, or other molding, so thin you can almost see through it.

That would sure come in handy making fine trim adjustments in the house without the dust of the miter saw!

you can still buy those, Lee Valley tools sell them for $295 Canadian, they even sell replacement blades.

Rockler Woodworking also has these - $200US. I?ve seen
these in high-end picture frame shops.

The new ones aren't made in the USA and they show it. With the label intact, this one appears to be nearly unused. Frame-shops would line up to buy yours.

My dad used one a lot on door and window casings. Had to keep them real sharp. Made perfect miters.

I bought mine new in 1971 for right around $300. They were the tool of choice for high end trim installers in new home construction.
