Thread: Guess what?

a scribing gauge?

I am thinking a marital aid.... The wife throws it at the husband when he tells her how much he paid for it...

An economist will tell you that it's whatever you want it to be.

I think we have been kept in suspenders long enough, cough up!

Its a flundel-gruber.
I just don't know what you use flundel-gruber's for.

We may have been had guys, read his name backwards.
If I remember correctly there was a poster a while back that seemed to delight in setting us up for no good reason.
Please please prove me wrong.

Definitely a Tangential tool holder for a lathe. Used with only one piece of tool steel at a time. You could machine up to a shoulder depending on what side of the tool you use. The tool steel with the more acute angle is used for thread cutting. I would guess that its home made as all the commercial ones I have seen are single sided. Very handy tools, I have purchased a few over the years.

Makes one wonder how this would go in a tangential tool holder http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/04122180

A Bi-Polar tool

Bugger, RC has caught me out, I have no idea what it is. A big thank you to RayG though, I now know the thickness of all my pencils - very important in the workshop!BTW, Steamwhisperer backwards is rerepsihwmaets (Indian I think). Please don't let it be so.

You are right it is expensive, but it is pretty big at twelve inches long..... I am not going to buy any, but I do wonder how it would go... HSS is OK if you have patience, which I do not so I like tungsten carbide for it's machining speed and no need for coolant..

Does that mean he was correct? Given your amount of smillies, and your familiararity with the forum on your 5th post. What do you figure the chanches are, your actually from Christies Beach S.A. An I.P check would surely confirm that.

You do know anyone can peruse this forum? Presumably if you peruse this forum, or the plethora of other like forums you'd become familiar with them too, It's only necessary to join if you want to post. Redbank, will that do? Thanks for the warm welcome though - much appreciated.
