Not long ago I bought a miter box. Then I realized it needed a longer saw.
Well one of my neighbor friends loved to fix old things and make them like new. Old radios, washing machines, food mixers and more. One of them I didn't even know he had was an old miter box and saw.
Well he passed away a few weeks ago. When his partner came to visit me he asked me if I needed a miter saw. He wanted me to take the miter box with it. The miter box is mostly taken apart and has a few missing, damaged or broken parts. Not sure if it is even worth trying to rehab, especially since I have the other one.
Here is all the stuff:
287806
The settings are marked for number of pieces in a frame instead of the angles. I also couldn't find anything to identify what particular Stanley Miter Box this may be. The John Walter book doesn't have a lot on miter boxes.
Part of the positioning lever is broken off. It could be made to work. The redish colored part looks to be something Dave made as a replacement. It needs to be machined a bit more or an original part found.
287808
Some of the screws are damaged or missing.
287807
This is the real reason for acquiring this. It was missing the medallion and a saw nut but there are a few around the shop when needed.
It looks to need a sharpening.
