Item MA5 - Brown & Sharpe No. 625 Planer and
Shaper Gage.
Used
by machinists to adjust cutting tools to exact distances, this gage is first set
to the desired setting with micrometer, caliper, or height gage. The resulting
cut is then precisely made with the first pass. Used on its base or end, the
gage can be set from ¼” to 8 ½” distances. In the wood shop it makes a great
gage for checking the squareness of drawers, cabinet shelves, etc. This one
came from a fitted tool chest of a machinist who worked at the Atlas Tack Co. of
Fairhaven, Mass. In the 1930s. It has uniform light tarnish, and has no rust,
pitting or personal marks. Fine.
