Bonney"s"?
« on: August 26, 2015, 11:10:23 AM »
Ok folks, I have an oddball tool here.  First, I really don't know what it's for and second, I've never seen an "S" on the end of Bonney?  I can't seem to load pictures so the tool is listed here:  http://toolarchives.com/?q=node/530

I was assured you folks here would know!!

well it looks like a wood working tool that trims the ends down on  stringers/spreaders in the base of chairs. goes into a brace for power.  what the heck do they call them???

tenon cutter,  took a few minutes but it came to me, knew dowel cutter wasn't right.

Adjustable hollow auger.  These are used to make round tenons for a variety of applications from wheelwright work to furniture.

So, I found a little more info this morning.  C.S. Bonney actually assigned this patent to Lloyd, Supplee & Walton, and they manufactured the tool and sold it as "Bonney's" patented Hollow Auger.

There was also a very similar tool manufactured by E. C. Stearns in Syracuse, NY.  And while datamp shows it as having not been produced, I have one.  It does not have the screw adjustment for the blade as the patent shows, but is more like the Bonney.
