cbl4823 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Cleaned up all my hardies and a 146# PW, and these are the ones I do not know what they are, or used for. Any help from the blacksmiths out there would be great. Please refer to them by the number when replying so I know what one you are talking about.

cbl4823 Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Just did a search for blacksmith bob and cup, nothing comes up. Do you know what they are used for? I was told by one person it was a countersink, and also was told it is used to put dimples on metal. Do they go together or seperate?

Wayne Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I gave up trying to identify or name tools a long time ago, now I just look at them and ask myself what will they be useful for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I picked up an old piece of large plumbing steel last night, it's the connical cover for a rod that actuated a valve---I'm using it as a cone mandrel. The pieces are used for whatever the smith needs them for. Two smiths might use them for radically different items. In general I call things swages, hardy tools and usefull shapes.
