Mystery Tool identification
I bought 2 large trailers of T parts and this tool shown in front of the drum stack was in the mix. Does anyone know what it does? is it T related? B.S.V.CO embossed on the bottom.

Re: Mystery Tool identification
Looks like a file could slide in the rectangular slot and the disk would index to select a hole size

Re: Mystery Tool identification
Thank you guys. Thanks for the video link! Looks like I would need to find the cutter that mounts in it to make it complete although I'm not sure I'm ready to take on building a wheel. Wheel wrights are a craftsman on a different level and probably need excellent patience. My background having retired as a steamfitter and paper machine mechanic doesn't always lend itself well to this hobby.

Re: Mystery Tool identification
Would the square tapered end fit in a hand brace? My dad had an antique drill press that took that type of tapered head. You could run it from a flat belt or hand crank it.

Re: Mystery Tool identification
Besides the missing blade, one would also need the cone cutter to get things centered and started.
