Walker-Turner Company of Plainfield, New Jersey was a premier American tool manufacturer from the 1920s through the 1950s, renowned for building robust, professional-grade woodworking and metalworking machines. Their scroll saws, drill presses, and band saws became workshop staples across the country — celebrated for their reliability and cast-iron construction. By the late 1940s, Walker-Turner had been acquired by Rockwell, marking the end of an era of small-batch, precision American machine making.
