Game: Guess the mystery object !

[piferal]

Is it used for watch or jewelry repair?

Yes for watch

 

[Ramsey_innovations]

Cool, I've got one for the slightly older folks.

 

[piferal]

I expect something more specific, not only for "repair watches o jewelry)

Name of the object, for what it is used in particular.

 

[Ramsey_innovations]

Oh sorry, not sure of the specific name but my best guess is that it is similar to a micrometer. Used to measure and compair the thickness of multiple parts of a watch. Possibly having the ability to press gears and watch hands onto shafts as well.

Got it, balance truing and poising tool! AKA Levin truing caliper.

the one for the older folks is a set of magnetic transducers from a video recorder a VCR, they go inside the spinning drum head.

I think this old thread is worth a bump to continue.

Heres the mystery object, although I know that a few members here will immediately know what it is and what it does, do you?

Cheers.

Looks like the blade out of a chipper shredder :thinking:

 

[00Giorge]

It's a bit far a lathe?

 

[GBD]

It's a bit far a lathe?

It can be, but its mostly used for other machines, your on track though, what is it?

 

[00Giorge]

I have seen one of these before, I just can't remember what it was on.

Is it used for wood products?

 

[GBD]

Nope, strictly metal.... I'm not giving anymore hints after that one lol, it would be a dead giveaway at that point

 

[00Giorge]

It's for beveling edges on pipe or plate steel prior to welding?

My brain is a little fuzzy, I took a pain killer for a really bad headache.
