My new fixture

It's a re-aligment tool for when the one-armed flay rod has gone out of skew on the treadle. :confused::D
 
Unfortunatly, no one has gotten it yet. Should I tell you or give a few hints?

Its has nothing to do with a belt grinder. I dont make folders so its not for liners and it doesnt "bolt" on to anything.
 
It's the Universal Widget, the item that has many uses.
The first use is as a spacer/stand off/foot for something.
Some of it's other uses are for the maker to show he knows what he's doing and is one darn fine machinist and another is to scratch the crap out of your desk! :D
 
Well, let's reverse engineer this thing and figure it out.

The "legs" would only be necessary to either give clearance and/or an accurate depth/distance from either a vise, table, or tooling.

The radiused recesses would most likely be either recessed to allow for clamping, or access with a mill/drill/router.

The shelf extends beyond the legs, so that area either needs extra clearance, or to fit into a limited access area.

The surfaces are machined, so it's important that this tool is square/parallel. Or you are just that anal.

So with all of this in mind, it's pretty clear what this is for.


You made it to fuq with everyone here and get them to try and identify a fancy, smancy, nothing-ma-call-it.

Jerk-ass.... ;) LMAO :D

it ataches to the tip of a set of tongs so that he can hold squar stock :)
 
Not for the belt grinder but maybe for your disk ? Looks like the inside touched something abrasive that generates a radius. Maybe a mini work rest ?
