Game: Guess the mystery object !

[HIMNL9]

No, usually only used on drills (can be used for CNC machines, anyway)

 

[Benm]

Is it a wire tap, used to tap thread into holes you just drilled?

Second guess: magic device that makes autofocus go haywire.

 

[tysonc1979]

Is it a beam block for a laser?

Nope not a beam block but your definetly getting warmer ok another hint its mostly used for testing.

@HIMNL9 Is it a counter sink drill bit?

 

[HIMNL9]

I suppose tyson win (if countersink is that what i mean ..... sides for screw heads, right ?)

It's used for make side for 45 degrees head screws, or also just for take away the "cutting borders" that a drill bit left when you drill a metal part.



EDIT: your one is a test socket/heatsink assembly for laser "brick style" diodes ?

I guess HIMNL9 is the winner. It is a 9mm laser diode test/heatsink jig made by billg519 and you guys call yourself laserist's:na:

What the pic to big for you?

What the pic to big for you?

I think he was talking about the size of the HS.

 

[HIMNL9]

Ok, in the meantime i go to lunch, try to guess this one:

Helps:

It can have different lenghts, but always the same diameter

It's not a standalone "tool" (like, as example, a screwdriver or an extractor)

It "add" a function to another component.

Try to be more specific possible

Haha thats right.

HIMNL9

Is it an adjuster that fits in a PCB mounted potentiometer?

 

[HIMNL9]

Correct, it's for add the "shaft" to a trimmer type potentiometer and use it as a standard one (this one go in the trimmers that have hexagonal hole, instead slot screw hole)



EDIT: it's a shame that you have edited the OP, limiting the difficult ..... i had some very hard to guess :eg:, from my collection of old electronic curiosities )

 

[ped]

^^ haha ok..

Try this

 

[anselm]

A pocket watch would too obvious, no?
A pocket compass?
A pocket ashtray?
A "nose-candy" box?

 

[Benm]

snuss box?

 

[ped]

No and no.


Its difficult to give a clue without giving it away....i'll wait a bit longer

 

[HIMNL9]

A hand warmer ?
