Which miter trimmer is this? - richtes - 11-29-2015

I don't see a name on it but assume it's an import. Seems bigger than a Lion and the handle is there and everything moves.

Sorry for the small tape, first I found. The table is about 24" wide

Thanks,
Rich

Lots of imitations of the Lion out there. As long as it works, it's a keeper.

What piqued my interest is the Lion trimmer copies look just like the Lion, as if they used an original to make the molds.

This is bigger as if they either copied something else or scaled up. I'm just curious.

I've seen them smaller, as well as bigger, than the Lion dimensions, but the concept is pretty much the same.

Edit: I'm talking about vintage variations of the tool, not modern knockoffs of Lion trimmers, and frankly, I'm pretty sure the Lion wasn't the first of this type.

this post says may be an early one.
Lion is now gone. Kaput, she used to sharpen the blades for me for $45 to a dangerous sharp level

There is a photo but I could not open the photo
