Re: Millers falls sharpening stone
I have a similar example (table top version) in my shop. My brother has
the larger pedal-powered type. Mine is not a MF. Can't remember the mfr.
of my brother's.

Herb,
The legs follow the same basic shape and style as the Millers Falls scroll saws. My guess would be that it uses the same treadle arrangement as the scroll saws.

Re: Millers falls sharpening stone
No saying when I would be able to photo my brother's unit. I am not out
at his place much these days. Moreso when the weather is better. I can
certainly take pix of mine, but being hand cranked and table-mounted, it
will have none of the foot-powered parts in common.

Re: Millers falls sharpening stone
Thanks Brent and Jerry. I guess I will look for a scroll saw to get an idea of what is missing on mine.

Re: Millers falls sharpening stone
My brother's unit has a seat, much like a bicycle. Not a treadle.

Re: Millers falls sharpening stone
Millers Falls made a few different sizes. I believe the "New Rogers" is one of the larger ones and most likely the closest relative to your grinder.Herb Iffrig wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 2:45 pmThanks Brent and Jerry. I guess I will look for a scroll saw to get an idea of what is missing on mine.
