I need some assistance in identifying some of my father’s tools for eventual sale.
In the first picture, one part is a “steady”, but for what? A lathe, a mill..? Any idea what manufacturer?
That same picture also contains 3 types of collets. For one style, most of the collets were manufactured by Brown & Sharpe, but some of the same style are no-name. For another style, some of the collets were manufactured by Hardinge, but again some of the same style are no-name. The third style is manufactured by Porst. Bros. as well as F.M. Co. I want to sell the collets, but I don’t know how to identify them (the McMaster-Carr catalog I have has some names but it hasn‘t helped with the identification).
The second picture is from a box labeled “feed fingers”. These appear to be a variation of a collet. Feed fingers aren’t even mentioned in my McMaster-Carr catalog.
Thanks for any help.
