Riverview Surplus, 5230 River Drive, Moline, IL just got in 4 large tubs of tooling that came from a grind shop at Rock Island Arsenal. There is at least 1 complete workhead 50 taper on one end and probably some kind of B&S on the other. There are 2 partial workheads similar to the one described but missing the base and angle plate. There is a boxed set of index plates I would guess to be 8" dia and 1/2" thick. There is some 50 NMTBA tooling and various B&S tools. There is a powered rotary table with what appears to be a mag chuck. There is a lot of stuff I don't recognize.

If any members are interested in that kind of stuff I suggest paying them a visit. It would be a good idea to call first. 309-797-9400. The owner is Schulze Belmyr. He is a long time friend of mine and treats his customers fairly. I have no financial interest in selling any of this stuff. I do hope somebody buys stuff of the top layer so I can see what is underneath.

Any chance of getting a picture of the index plates if you have the opportunity?

The index plates are 7" OD, 1/2" thick. There is a raised hub 2 1/4" diameter and 1 1/16" through the the bore. Bore is 1 1/2" with a keyway. Measurements taken with a steel rule. Index notches on the periphery appear to be slightly canted.
Box 1 is marked 4,6,7,8,9,10
Box 2 is marked 20,22,24,30,10,18
Box 3 is marked 6,8,10,12,18
Box 4 is marked 11,12,13,14,15,16
I did not pull individual plates to see if their stamped numbers matched painted numbers on the box.

I also discovered a case of Engis diamond dresser blocks plus another box of dresser blocks. All appear to be in good to excellent condition.

Pix will be available after my phone recharges.

Did this shop have a 1960s era Agathon or Walters?
One (the NC) pulled the ratchet/shotpin, move and then back in for next index lock. Slip clutches were used.
I have many that look like this but not at this high of count. Gear making?

I think I figured out what this is for:hollow grinding the faces of a saw blade.

Re: single pic from Eric Kretz.

I also found boxes of collets that look like TG. They are on the bottom so I couldn't get an idea of the quantity.

Gotta love the gov!. Anyway, the index plates are as I suspected- they are for a Barber Colman Gear Hob grinder. These are the smaller diameter plates used on the smaller grinders. A hob grinder is useless without them.
