=THE NEW ROGERS’ SCROLL SAW. NO. 2.=

Given for new subscriptions amounting to $8.00; or for new subscriptions amounting to $5.00 and $1.25 cash extra; or for new subscriptions amounting to $3.00 and $2.00 cash additional.

This season we offer to our subscribers the New Rogers’ Scroll Saw, which the manufacturers declare to be the best cheap saw ever offered to the public.

The latest improvements on this Saw are Pratt’s Rubber Positive Blower and a new Clamp for holding the Saw Blades.

The entire framework is made from Iron, painted and Japanned black, and ornamented with red and gilt stripes.

All parts made to interchange.

1. The Bearings to the Arms are carefully sized to bring them in perfect line. (This is a vital point in the construction of any Jig Saw).

2. Each machine is provided with a Dust Blower, which is a very great advantage.

3. Our machine has a jointed Stretcher Rod, which allows the operator to throw the upper arm out of the way when adjusting his work or saw. This joint also permits the machine to work much more freely than with a straight iron rod.

4. Our clamps have a hinged jaw which overcomes the disagreeable raking overthrow of the blade, which is unavoidable when the saws are secured rigidly to the arms. Saw blades are not nearly so liable to break when clamps have this joint. Thus a large percentage of the expense of running the saw is saved. Besides this the saw runs much easier, the swing coming at the hinge instead of bending the blade with each stroke of the saw.

5. The Balance Wheel is 4¼ inches in diameter, with a handsome spoke centre and Rim of Solid Emery (No. 70), ⅝ x ¾ in the No. 2 Saw.

6. The attachment for Drilling is on the Right Hand Side of the machine, which, for convenience, is an obvious advantage.

7. No Pins are used in the construction of this machine, as we prefer the durability of nicely fitted screws and bolts in securing each part.

While the New Rogers’ Saw is very rich, though not gaudy in appearance, it has been more especially our object to make, for the least possible money, a saw characterized for its Compactness, Strength and Durability, ease of action, and firmness when in operation.

With each machine we give six Saw Blades, Wrench, Sheet of Designs and three Drill Points. The Saw alone weighs 25 lbs.; Saw and Box together, 36 lbs.

Price of No. 2 Rogers’ Saw, $4.00. Receiver to pay express charges. This Saw is provided with a polished Tilting Table, heavily nickel-plated.
