R. TRACEY One type of machine that is coming widely intouse in the manufacture of furniture is the doublemiter saw. This machine, is generally so constructedthat it is equally well adapted to square work and towork with all kinds of simple and compound ability to handle square work as well as miterwork permits its use in the smaller factories wherethey only feel able to install one double cutoff saw. The gain in efficiency, both in saving of labor andin accuracy of the work by cutting angled work both. Automatic type double miter saw. Table automatically raises and lowers ends at once, is easily understood. Where both enasof a piece of work are cut simultaneously the work isbound to be cut with the angles in the right relation toeach other and the work to be accurate in is true even if the work gauge should vary. Thesaws being positioned the work is bound to be of theright length and angle. More Than One Piece Handled On all work that is square or with simple angles rthas been found practicable to cut several pieces at atime. In one factory a record was made of cutting-four thousand pieces of work in one hour, the workbeing about 7 inches wide and Y% inch thick and cuton the ends on an angle of about I7y2 degrees. Thiswas done by cutting the work six and seven pieces ata time, one man feeding the machine and another mantaking the stock away. In cutting compound angles, such as the domesof phonograph cabinets, casket parts, and similarw
