[Shop-talk] Trying to determine..........

[Steve]

I agree that it’s a table top tool for joiner/shaper/router.  I’m leaning to the joiner fence theory, 
but possibly useful for a custom tool build, maybe a small dedicated tool for a specific function.

Question:  is there any Shop Talk members that can use it?  I’d gladly mail it to anybody that 
wants it for the cost of shipping.   Anybody?  Let me know.

  Looks like a fence for a shaper/router table to me.  The wood is the face of the fence.  The pin that sticks up is for the cap/dust collection. 


More specifically, I think a joiner fence.  Note that one fence is adjustable to account for material removed by the tool.


  Now, if you want a hard one, here is one I've had for years that noone has been able to figure out.  It's been on this redit for a while also...

When I saw it, I thought "a jig for winding motor or generator field coils".   But if it was that, why the set screw?  You would need it to be able to reset to the same spot easily every time you remove a finished coil.  So, meant to hold something by the top of the arms?  They look kind of pointy sharp.  But then why is it cylindrical?   I can't figure that part out.
