BRIEF HUSTORY
This company was in business by 1906. They specialized in grinding machines, including bench or pedestal grinders and buffers. They were one of the earliest manufacturers of portable electric tools, and were making drills in six sizes in 1906, ¼" to 1¼".
By 1935 they had acquired, or licensed, a key patent granted to Patrick Billingsley of the
P. L. Billingsley Co.
, makers of a handheld circular saw that was powered from a cart-mounted motor via flexible shaft. United States Electrical Tool applied Billingsley's innovations—blade guard and hinged foot-plate to adjust cut depth—to a conventional gear-drive circular saw.
At some point between 1968 and 2007, United States Electrical Tool Co. merged or co-located with
Cincinnati Electrical Tool Co.
at 5928 Hamilton Cleves Pike Rd. (State Rt. 128), Miamitown, OH. Their
web site
has been down since June, 2017.
