Arceye Blue Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Purchased this today from a boot sale. It uses standard type hacksaw blades. I used to use one similar at work years ago, you could also grind the blade thinner and use it like a scroll saw on metal plate. Cost me £40 I think it was well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Greetings Ace.. That would be a die filer..Probably a Oliver.. A great tool if you know how to use it.. Comes in real handy for making square holes. Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kozzy Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Ayup, good find. Die filer--which do take saw blades. But you blew it: With a cool tool like that around, now you opened a can of worms and have to make some really cool custom die blocks and punches to match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceye Blue Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Thank you all for telling me what it really is, I shall enjoy using it ,I also have a No 3 & No 2 fly press so it should be very useful . The Maker is:- A Finney and it is a New Wonder they used to manufacture machinery in Birmingham for the aircraft industry just up the road from where I live, they used to call it the City of a thousand trades shame time as moved on. I wonder if people in the future will feel the same about 3D printers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
