I made this little cutter to make the spindle gasket for my Hardinge
TM, which is finally going back together. It uses No. 11 X-acto
blades. I may add a dowel for the slot in the blade, but maybe not.
It worked fine on a cutter mat. The pivot is a hand ground point on a
set screw locked by a second set screw.

'In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact
equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the
person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American,
but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the
English language.. and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a
loyalty to the American people.'
