Identify tools

[James Paul]

does anyone know what these tools are used for? They were part of a box of engineering tools I bought at an auction.

Left to right

Home made internal circlip pliers

Dunno but the knurled bit looks like it undoes? Home made bob?

Oxy Acetelene nozzle

 

[Pete.]

Last one is a gas nozzle for oxy-propane burning torch.

If I had to guess I would say that the first is a circlip pliers.

Second looks like a plumb bob. Does the knuled ring have a hole in it?

 

[voipio]

Middle one might be a plumb bob, minus the line.

Yup. You’re right. I did look hard but didn’t see the different metals at first

Op - should have PNM on it

I’d say possible countersink?

I’d say possible countersink?

Or a dead centre for a small lathe?

A good call

 

[brightspark]

it hasnt a taper on it so it wont be a dead center that you put in the tailstock and it wouldnt be used in a chuck in the tail;stock

Are all tail stocks tapered?

I’ve not had enough experience with small model lathes to know. Which is the sort of size that would be?

 

[8ob]

Circlip pliers are similar to a pair I have.

 

[tigdlo]

The knurling looks a bit out of place, perhaps it was used to hold moulded plastic part in place, can't imagine what it would look like or be used for though.

Same here.

Cutting torch tip on the far right.

 

[Erie Fred]

Torch tip appears to be Airco/Concoa/Koike. as far as propane, I don't see it separated.
It looks like a one piece (acetylene) tip.

Oxy Acetelene nozzle

Circlip pliers, not home made, I have several sizes, both internal and external. Sykes Pickavant, I think.

 

[Arc Tourist]

The pointed item in the centre of the picture looks like it could be part of a set of different anvils that fit on a specialized micrometer ?

Tailstock are always tapered, except Capstan lathes, but I can't think why you'd put a dead centre in a Capstan lathe!

Except points are straight on op's

 

[brightspark]
