Whats that then ;-)

[whatknot]

Picked this up on spec earlier

I now know what it is but does anyone else ;-)

It had me scratching my head for a while

Drill bit sharpening jig?

 

[AndyT]

I've not looked it up, and not seen one before, but I think it's the equivalent of an Eclipse no 39.

In that good old fashioned way, I would say you are warm(ish)

(hand) router bit sharpening jig?

 

[whatknot]

You are quite correct sir

A Stanley GF-H1-A

I had never seen one before today

Should anyone have any instructions for same I wouldn't mind a copy

 

[AndyT]

The instructions seem even rarer than the jigs!

That thread suggests it may have been a development by Carter tools in Australia, taken over by Stanley.

Is there a readable patent number? I can't see it on Datamp, but Google Patents is pretty good on the more modern stuff.

 

[AndyT]

In theory, this should help, but it's not as clear as it could be!

From the 1950 catalogue here

No sadly not, there is no patent stamped on it at all that part of the label is blank

I am getting insecure connection there, so will give it a miss

I use archive.org all the time and don't normally get an insecure error message

Thats funny I read that same thread earlier but didn't notice the mention of Carters

 

[AndyT]

I can't see why your system is reporting an insecure connection.
You could try searching for the Carter-Stanley catalogue at archive.org yourself, then looking at page 44.
The gist of it seems to be that you can put a mounted stone, on an arbor, in your router then put the bit into the holder and carefully slide one base across the other until they touch. Presumably having set all the angle adjustments first.
Or else, if you have a Stanley shaper, with a big cast iron table, you use that to spin the stone and slide the cutter up to it, mounted in the fixture.

Good luck! And good eye protection too.

You sometimes get a false negative by security software, but its not worth ignoring just in case

I did find a not very clear instruction sheet which will do
