Beading Planes & Routers 
 

2 Coach Beaders / Beading Planes / Scrapers  These are shop made and very nice examples of a versatile and useful tool in the hands of the right user.  Both have a center fence used on a groove or as a fence on the edge of a board.  On either side of the fence the cutter is exactly the same to facilitate working in either direction, or around curves.  The top one has 6 different bead profiles cut into it and they all look good. Each profile is separated by the rectangular notch you see to assure proper positioning when changing profiles.  A very nice tool.  

The bottom one is set up the same way, but has only 5 different profiles on 2 separate cutters.  Neither are marked with a manufactures or owners name.        Click for Pic          Click for Pic

French Coach Router  This form of router or plane is most commonly referred to as a French coach makers router and it was meant as a compliment to the fine work they produced and the quality of their tools.   This is a nice if somewhat simple example with no aux fence as the more complicated versions have.  The way the cutter is held in place is great and the curved and formed steel wedge doing that is great.    The height of the cut is adjustable by removing or inserting washers or shims under the steel rub plate.  The escapement hole for the shavings is well done.  It is a very showy piece and will be a nice addition to the router collection.       CYN-ss-14

Windsor Patent Beader  Windsor beaders were patented by two fellows from Windsor Conn. Mr Orlando Williams, and Lawrence Poole were issued 2 patents in 1885 for this design and that information is clearly stamped into the ebonized frame of the top.   This style is usually referred to as the second model of these beaders.  There is only one profile of each cut and there are 4 relatively large bead profiles.

Coachmakers Router  This looks like a Preston to me, but it is unmarked.  It looks to be a very versitle and useful tool.  The cutter seems to be a replacement or modified as it does not engage the depth adjuster as it looks like it should.       Click for Pic         Click for Pic
