so I have a little tooling gloat after finding the following today:
![2012-09-03_18-15-48_714.jpg 2012-09-03_18-15-48_714.jpg](https://www.hobby-machinist.com/data/attachments/8/8482-8f26049615f7111a92f30503a53acb8c.jpg)
I was pretty excited to get this as it has some really good quality cross slide (left) and 2 compound slides (far right) as well as a bunch of parts/bearings/shafts and whatnot, as well as something that looks like an indexer and a base for it:

looks like it has a taper for some sort of collet but am not sure which type, the entire spindle turns freely and it has degree indications on it. the top has a round hole for what looks like a pin to index(?) and a push shaft to keep the spindle from turning which allows the front knurled ring to turn to lock/unlock the collet from the look of it. anyone familiar with this beast (it's quite large and heavy)? any info I could find on it for use/purpose/etc?
Thanks in advance,
thinking of all the things I could use these for.... aaah, dreams...
