Not sure what this is for. Has a dovetail slide and adjusts a few different directions with degree marks. I have it on a cinder block, for size comparison. What's is it? What does it fit? Thanks John

That is a South Bend Lathe milling attachment (big one).
What is the diameter of the pilot on the bottom? The other dimensions would help too.
There should be a number stamped on the front.

I search it over and cleaned any surface that might have numbers, but can't find any. Not saying they are not there. Here is some measurements that may help.

Not as big as I thought. IIRC those dimensions make it for a 9"/10k.
I'll get more info tomorrow.

Do some reading on the subject of electrolytic derusting.

A bit of work, and you can have a useful enough tool.

'Course, you could just slather it in gray porch paint and get the same amount of money for it on ebay, now that you know it's a South Bend.

In any case, rough as it is, it can still become useful to someone.

Cheers

It's not stuck, so it's not that bad. I did a magazine article on electrolysis a few years back, so doing that wouldn't be a problem. I have bought complete antique engines from ebay that was totally empty inside, so I am very cautious about buying and honest about selling.
