Hello, Jim in Texas here. I bought this from an estate along with other tools in a package deal. One of the other items was a Fletcher glass and mat cutter but this one has me baffled. It looks like it holds a frame square but it is pretty odd. The hold downs are on dovetail slides. There are no logos, numbers or other markings on it other than pencil notes that read 1/8" out, 3/8" out, etc. I was gonna use the drop box at metalworking.com but it confused me so try my photobucket account:

If this posting of a link to my album is not acceptable to the group standards please let me know and I will figure out the drop box. Any help greatly appreciated, best regards, Jim Anderson
