Barnes Combination Saw

Combination Saw's
The Barnes combination saw combined the operation of a circular saw with that of the scroll saw, although the scroll saw attachment was an option and this saw is most often found today with this attachment missing. There was no self feed mechanism (a pressure bar - see the #4 saw description) on these machines. There where only 3 types combination saw's made by Barnes.
The Type 1. This was the first saw with a scroll saw attachment.

Made from 1876 till 1886

Type Nr 2.

Made from 1886 till 1892

Source: my own saw

You will have noticed that my saw has the name Schlaadt Bros Engineers Dunedun casted on the side frame. After the 1920 Barnes did cast different names on there machines on request of the buyer. I did e-mail with Eb Hobbs about this and he confirmed to me that this must be a Barnes made machine.
