TrevorGCB&W 3 Posted February 4 This strange instrument was found amongst the workshop I purchased from a retired engineer/modelmaker some years ago and it has confounded far more experienced brains than mine. I also acquired at the same time a large collection of ME mags going back to the 1950s and searching them has not yielded anything. It fits the lathe bed of my Myford 7 and has a toggled centre pin enabling maybe a disc shaped workpiece to be mounted under the swivelling pointer arm. There aren't any graduation markings visible. Someone out there must have an idea! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHMD 1,522 Posted February 4 Is it for use with an indexing wheel? Kev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrevorGCB&W 3 Posted February 6 That has been suggested before but the indexing wheel that I acquired at the same time had no chance of fitting and even if it had I can't see how it would work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted March 14 Looks a little like it may have been made for a specific job, perhaps to align a part when setting up ?. It's not unusual to make a fixture to help speed up a process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
