Afternoon All,
I have been sent the attached pictures of a machine found in a shed recently – the enquirer wants to know what it is, and wonders if it “might be for
cutting mitres in wood? There are sidepieces which present whatever is to be cut at an angle and the large blade is operated by a handle and ratchet which would allow some speed and power to be built up.”
I am basically clueless, so I am appealing to the collective for some help with this one – any thoughts gratefully received!
Many thanks
Alexia
