Here we have a Vintage G. N. STEARNS No. 103 Adjustable Hollow Auger Tenon Cutter Brace Dowel Tool.  This piece has no makers mark except for the number "103" stamped into the red gearing plate. This cutter adjusts from 1/4" up to 1 1/4" according to the gauge on the front of the gearing. It adjusts by loosening the thumb screw on top and turning the bottom knurled knob to the proper size and locking the thumbscrew again. It has a removable (and adjustable) 3/4" cutting iron that is relatively sharp, but should be touch up before use. There are graduations on the upper frame which indicates that it originally had an adjustable depth gauge.  It has gone missing over the years.  This can easily be remedied with a small clamp. The piece is in good working order, but has some paint loss from usage.  These large tools are designed to be used with a hand brace.  Tool is 7" tall.
