Thanks for your help. Not sure if I have any use for this. Seems to me
I would need a mounting device to use this. I suppose I could mount it
to the tool rest on my Taig. As you can probably guess, I'm pretty
much starting out learning about machine tools.I took a Machine
processing course at Wentworth in Boston about 40 yars ago and never
used anyhing that I learned there. I continued on and go a degree in
Engineering.
Anyway, thanks for your help and thanks for not poking fun at my lame
questions about shop tools.

Hi All: I was given a tool recently and as far as I can tell it is
called a center finder made in US by Mituyoyo.At least it says it's
made in the US but I can't imagine it would be with that brand name.
I found one on ebay exactly like the one I have.

I can't for the life of me figure out how this tool would be used or
where I can get any info on it. Is it used on a lathe? Any info on
this is greatly appreciated.
