Prospector Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hello Hammers I found this piece from old shop. I have no idea what it is but maybe i can use it like "mini mandrel";) Tool from lathe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candidquality Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 A needle valve from a really big carbeurator? Never seen one before. I think your mini-mandrel would be a perfect fit for it untill you can figure out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWooldridge Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I'm speculating but looks like a drive point for drilling water wells. Slips into a hollow end (pipe?) and then a threaded collar locks it into place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irnsrgn Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The hex on the threaded part and the square drive on the center piece make me wonder if the center part turns freely inside the outside, which would make it some kind of expansion device minus the expanding end or die.

6013 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Looks like a neat little cone mandril from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_sandy_creek_forge Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 hm... that is an amazing find. I have never seen a doo-hickey in such good condition before. In reality the end of the doo-hickey is supposed to attach to a thing-a-ma-jobber and is used to work on whatchamadiggies, but I suppose a person could definitely use it as a cone mandrel. -Aaron @ the SCF (sorry, I couldn't resist) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doo-hickey:confused: Any synonym for doo-hickey? Length for this "what ever it is" is about 40 cm (15.7 inch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 find an anvil with a broken off horn, drill and thread it to fit your find for a prosthesis! does look like a very large needle valve (oxymoron). Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
