Does anyone know what this Deckel mill part is for or recognise it? It matches the paint on the FP1 punch milling attachment that came with my FP2. It's about 4 inches (100mm) on a side.

Hey Bruce,

based on the fact that there is no provision for fixing the thing to something, or for fixing something in the slot (or else it would be machined on the two sides of the protrusion) I would say it could be a base for the user to be able to rest something on, so that it won't roll. But I would also like to hear what it's actually for :)

BR,

Bruce, I saw this add that was just listed on German eBay has this piece also.

Sharp eyes, that's exactly the same part!

What is the inside width of the slot? Could it be to hold tooling for tightening?

Inside of slot is machined parallel, width just over 27mm.

This might be some sort of stand, intended to lie flat on the non-painted face. But to hold what??

For the record the dimensions of the flat face are approximately 100 x 130mm.
