Hi guys,

Just perusing the online classifieds and came across this listing, and I would like to know what attachment is included, the long handle with red knob? I have never seen one of these before, my best guess is some kind of retractable toolpost holder? I have a mate with a Schaublin lathe that has a similar albeit much smaller retractable toolpost holder but I didn't know there was such a Hercus accessory? Or is it something completely different?

As this listing will probably soon disappear I have copied the image.
