Does anyone recognise this rotating V-block? There's no makers name or other marks that I can see. The key is for a 7/16" T-slot, so it doesn't fit on my Super 7, even though I discovered it in the stand that the lathe came on.

Any ideas on what it's used for gratefully received.

ICBW but the base looks not dissimilar to that of a Myford 2 way Vertical Slide.

Don't know if they made other models, but mine has two studs in each swivel, and the base uses the same 2 studs to clamp to the crossslide via tee nuts. It's also a good deal more substantial.

Aha, so you have one too. I got mine free from work.
