Lot 181: A Manual Precision Mitre Saw with Metal Guide Rod Assembly
Not sold
A manual precision mitre saw mounted on a wooden board. The tool features a base constructed from metal with a black finish, supporting two vertical chrome-plated metal guide rods. A horizontal metal bar travels through sliding sleeves on these rods, carrying a steel saw blade secured within a tensioned frame. The frame is fitted with a moulded black plastic handle. The rotating central section of the base includes an embossed scale graduated from 45 to 90 degrees for angle adjustment, and the bed of the saw is detailed with a series of diagonal cast ridges. Two metal vertical stops are positioned at the front edge of the bed. A cast mark is present on the central pivot area of the base, but the characters are not legible. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
Condition report:

Dust and debris are present throughout the mechanical joints and cast crevices. The wooden base shows water staining and edge wear (photo 1). The item is supplied as shown without additional accessories.
