/forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gifThey belonged to my Father in law before he passed away.... /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gifSo anybody know what the hell they are....?

That thing with the serated wheels on it is a dressing tool for a grinding wheel.

Re: Alright old tools guy\'s WTF are these things?????

the thing in the middle looking sorta like pliers I think is a saw set....used to offset the saw teeth on a hand saw when you sharpen it...

I agree with the dressing wheel....
 
Re: Alright old tools guy\'s WTF are these things?????

The dealy with the T-handle on one end and the kinda-bell-lookin tapered thingy at the other end, between the rock and the grinding wheel dresser, is a small leveling jack. For leveling old tools like lathes and so forth.
The doodad on the left, behind the grinding wheel dresser, looks like some kind of hand-operated punch.
 
Re: Alright old tools guy\'s WTF are these things?????

The pliers-like tool is a saw set. I have one. The grinding wheel dresser is unamimous. As is the punch behind the dresser. The Screw Jack is used on mill set-ups more than lathe set-ups. I'll guess the C-clamp like tool is for crimping cable ends onto cable. I've no idea what the T wrench is for.

OK so possitive on the saw set( makes complete sense now)and the grinding wheel dresser and the punch , but a punch for what exactly.... /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gifThanks guys... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gifOh and anybody got a mill they need leveled, I can also help with that, that one really had me.... /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Was watching American Hot Rod and saw them use that exact manual punch to make spot weld holes on body panels and floors and stuff.

I agree with the rest.

Could the punch press and the plier punch be tools for working with leather? Now that I think about it I saw a guy use similar tools once forming leather skins. Probably not, I'm just sitting at work bored staring at that picture thinking that I know everything.

Re: Alright old tools guy\'s WTF are these things?????

the pliers are definately for a saw, there is no punch on it but there is a wedged dial with numbers,
i assume for what degree you want on the teeth...And I just looked at the press and it seems to be for pressing in grommets or snaps.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
