Another Manual is Here! Foley 392 Power Setter

Many thanks to Jim in Dallas who sent me this manual for the Foley 392 Power Setter.

I had a request for the Foley Model 200 manual. Foley had two model 200 machines. The old model 200 was a key copying machine. The newer model 200 was a saw filer. While I haven't used the model 200 saw filer, it looks a lot like the SF-1000 / newer 387. The manual for that is linked at the right. I'm guessing that Foley discontinued the name 'model 200' due to confusion of the two.

I'll write up the difference between the old & new filers soon, but as far as I can tell, there were essentially two different machines (old vs. new or grey vs. green) with six different model names (old: F-4, F-5, F-61, 387; new: 387, 200, SF-1000).

Manual for Foley Automatic Power Setter is Here!

I've been looking for this manual for a very long time. I have the Foley model 352 automatic power setter. This is the manual for the model 525 or model 52. They look very similar, so let's hope it works. I've installed a permanent link in my list to the right.

The copy isn't the best in the world, but it is a heck of a lot better than what I had before (which was...nothing). If you have any experience with this machine, feel free to leave some tips to help us newbies out!

Foley SR-1000 Retoother Manual is Here!

I scanned the manual to the Foley Belsaw SR-1000 retoother last night. I've added the link at the right. I have the Foley Retoother model 385, and this manual works just fine.

The manual for the Automatic Power Setter model 52 is on its way to my house. I hope it works for my Foley model 352, they sure do look like the same machine... In any case, it should be posted up here by next week.
