For turning starter or generator commutors??? Domed shaft for keeping shaft in place, if held by center at chuck end.

Quick setup for a garage type shop, working on shafts with no center hole in end...

Does not look SB, and steady rest has same paint. And is also not SB.. See the V groove on flat way??

Looks like they are for a 10 or 12 in lathe..

Hello all. I'm new here as I just bought a 1941 South Bend B9W lathe. I t came with a box of odds and sods including a steady rest the mystery tool in the pictures bellow. It clamps onto the ways like the steady rest and has an outer collar that when threaded forward presses three clamping pegs inwards. It also has a removable pin in the center bore that has a nicely machined dome on one end and a knurled perimeter on the other end.

Can anyone identify its use for me?

Cheers
Paul

That part is the tailstock from a Frank Wood Trucut armature lathe.
