Another tool ID needed V
I posted a few more photos this morning:
http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Over the weekend I bought small piece of metal with some holes in it at the flea market and I'm not sure if it was made for a reason or if someone was just practicing with their drill. The guy who sold it to me said that he got it from a machinist. The block is 1.75"l x 1.125"w x .625"h and the holes are .25" deep. There is a photo of it at this link: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...tt65/block.jpg Anyone know why this might have been made? Rob |
Isnt it obvious? its for holding matches so you dont burn your fingers :-) ,
sorry coulnt help it. I dont know what this one was far, but I saw something similar at my granddads old workshop, he told me it was for holding stray nails because my grandma would complain when he kept them in his teeth. , but I didnt believe him.

In another life as a machinist we had tools that were similar. They were
called 1 2 3 blocks. The dimensions were, as stated 1.000 X 2.000 X 3.000 and were used in setups. The accuracy to 3 decimal points indicated that they could be +/- .0003 off. They were made of good tool steel, cut and ground down to within a couple hundreths, holes drilled to lighten them up a bit as well as tapping several of the holes so the blocks could be attached to one another. After this they were sent out to be heat treated (hardened) then ground to the proper dimensions on a surface grinder. As the dimensions are off on this tool perhaps it was for a different type set up that was often used. "R.H." wrote in message om...

106 lookslike a ravioli cutting cutter. Lay sheet of paste out ... put the
fillings down .. put top sheet of pasta on top then cut squares out with tool "R.H." wrote in message om...

105
crushed in a torrid coils magnetic field. The block does look like a machining fixture. Place a pin in the appropriate hole for support of the object being machined. Either way it looks like something built custom for the job(s). -Bruce R.H. wrote: I posted a few more photos this morning: http://puzzlephotos.blogspot.com/ Over the weekend I bought small piece of metal with some holes in it at the flea market and I'm not sure if it was made for a reason or if someone was just practicing with their drill.

Correct. The block with holes in it sort of resembles a 1-2-3 block. Thanks, I'll look into that. Rob |

Fun site. But If someone gave a reference to an old page, there is no way to move forward. Glad that you liked the site. You're right, there is no way to move forward, but they can go to the home page via the link at the bottom, and then see them all in reverse order from there. That's the only drawback to using the blog format, but on the plus side I get automatic page linking and comments. Rob |

I'm with Andy on #106, it looks like the same tool you use to transfer
patterns onto fabric. Except this one is a lot heavier, so I'd guess it would be for leather. Here is the response I got from a leather worker when I asked him about this one: "It's for marking leather. It's an overstitch wheel. Simply roll along leather to mark the spacing of stitches for smooth, even results every time. Varying ones available for 5, 6, 7 stitches to the inch." The next item reminds me of a mop head holder on the old school mops that go with the ringer buckets. Number 107 isn't for mops. The third one has to be some kind of leather stiching tool. This one isn't for leather, but it is used with stitching. Rob |
Thanks for sharing those sites, they are impressive

Nit: torrid. n. 1) parched with the heat of the sun. 2) scorching, burning. 3) passionate/ardent. While _probably_ *not* what the O.P. "intended", I will suggest that def. #2 could be applicable to a high-intensity, VHF, magnetic field. |
A toroid might be made of ferrous powder but the name doesn't imply
ferrous powder. The name refers to the shape. Like a donut. bob g.
