Thank You for the information now all I need to do is to free it up, clean and then find a use for it.

It was a donation to our Men’s Shed.

It should have a fairly long arm projecting from, probably, a tapped blind hole in the side of the body. This rides against the drilling-machine column to prevent the tapping-head spinning with the rotating spindle.

If missing it’s just a plain length of mild-steel with a short thread on one end to match the device.

Use it at lowest machine speed – mine is on a “Progress 2G” machine in low gear and lowest belt speed.
