Title: Stanley Dowel Machine
Post by: Papaw on May 11, 2016, 08:39:44 PM

I have a Stanley 77 Dowel Machine on Ebay. Vintage Stanley Model No. 77 Dowel and Rod Turning Machine in excellent working condition. Has one 3/8" cutting head with it . Also included is the Stanley instruction pamphlet in good condition . Appears to be missing the turning rod on the front of it but works fine and other than that has no cracks , breaks and original japanning is in great condition, except for paint loss on the crank handle. Sold as is. See pictures that show the tool as I found it , in use, and after minimal cleanup. No repainting was done. I will remove the crank handle and the square stock jig for shipping purposes.

I have one that had 3 cutters with it.  Someone stole the cutting blades and screws off two of the three cutting heads at a tool show earlier this year.  I am pretty sure who stole them, but unless you catch them red handed there is not much you can do about it.  I hope I never catch anyone redhanded because I have a feeling that I will be the one who ends up in jail.
