Vintage Early 20th C. Hollow Auger Tenon Cutter Woodworking Craftsman Tool 6.25"

Description

For your consideration this week is an early 20th century hollow auger dowel tenon cutter.
Made to fit in a bitstock or brace, this piece appeals to chairmakers, laddermakers, and other craftsmen as well as wheel-wrights. With a hollow auger, a sturdy joint can be made in two relatively simple operations. And, with a means of cutting the tenons uniformly, parts can be made in a batch rather than being individually hand-fitted.
This cutter stands 6-1/4” tall and measures approximately 5-1/4” wide. There is a small chip just below the bit (see first photo), but nothing is loose and there appears to be no integrity loss.

Thanks for looking!
