Help to ID some tools?

[BazyleParticipant @bazyle]

I suggest adaptors for tool grinding on a surface grinder. Possibly for making a specific set of machine parts.

But why has one device got a little rack full of borinmg bars/cutters on it?

Thank you all for the input. He suspected they were custom parts for ornamental turning. He hoped to stick them on eBay but if they are bespoke would there be much interest?

Have you tried looking on google, if not put in G. Birch & co Manchester, I had a brief look, Birches made machine tool, tools for clock making, and ornimental turning. There is on one site a treddle screw cutting lathe, with soething that may be similar to the item in photo 2 above on the floor beneath the lathe. Ian S C

Mick's bits certainly look to be from an ornamental turning lathe.

Philip – you might do well to look at THIS site. Members of the Society of Ornimental Turners often used to turn up at ME exhibitions. The work they produce is amazing and beautiful. They will, no doubt, give an opinion on your bits.

Yes Bob – I've certainly seen them there. I like the Bristol show and will certainly be there this year. Living, as I do now, in deepest Devon all the others are a bit of a long haul and you could buy a lot of metal for the cost of the petrol!

In ME 4454 page 590 in Richard Wightman's article on cutting timing belt gears there is a picture of a device he made that looks like a simplified version of tool pictures 3/4/5.
