Anyone have any idea of what this came off of? I'm guessing a very old small lathe, maybe even an armature lathe. Other than a patent date there's no markings on it anywhere. I cleaned it up just to see.
I tried an image identifier program and it said something about a cross feed adapter for a lathe or milling machine.
I tried to copy the results here but that didn workeee.
Friends tractor mounted PTO driven snowblower had an incident. All he could get was 1 1/4" square stock. So I took 1/16 off 2 sides. Then I 45 cut the corners to take off the bulk of the material needed to make the corners round. He'll finish it up by hand
