Vintage Antique Stanley No. 242 Cast Iron Mitre Box

242 is an early-20th-century cast iron mitre box prized by woodworkers and collectors. It features adjustable saw guides and an integrated angle control arm designed for highly precise, non-powered crosscuts. Production Era: Manufactured primarily in the early 1900s (often between 1909 and 1920).

Build: Heavy-duty cast-iron frame with nickel-plated uprights and guide cylinders. Functionality: Allowed users to lock in specific angles (typically 45° and 90°) to guide a specialized back saw.

Accessories: Often used with specific wooden beds that were attached to the frame to support the workpiece.
