That's an interesting theory. If someone on here has an old Ralmikes catalog perhaps they could look it up by the 060-1-4 part number. I would still like to know what it is called and what it is used for so that I can sell it to a machinist that can use it. Evil capitalism at it's finest...LOL. But seriously, I saved a bunch of Hardinge HLV parts and a few other items from being sold as scrap. If I am posting in the correct place, I plan on putting more pictures on tomorrow morning of tools / equipment that I can not identify. If there is a better or more correct place to post the pictures please let me know...Rick.
