Description: |
| Improvements to Siegley's patent 216,979 and patent 245,752. The improvements are "designed with a view to lock the cutting-tool or plow in a more reliable manner and facilitate the forward feeding and adjusting of the same. The invention consists of a bench-plane, the stock of which is provided with an inclined cutting-tool or plow, the upper surface of which is laterally grooved or serrated, to be engaged by a wedge-shaped locking-block having a correspondingly-grooved bottom, said block being secured against an inclined cheek of the stock by a later screw-post and clamp-neut, and moved forward by a longitudinal set-screw of the wedge-shaped block, so as to raise or lower the plow in the stock." |
