Part of my lathe deal was cleaning out all the tools and taking them. These were loose in a cabinet. The previous owner had a 12" Logan Turret lathe, a 16" Southbend lathe, and a large milling machine which was I think a Rockwell. The Mill had been sold long before I got the deal so I never saw it. But, maybe knowing that machines he had will help ID these tools:

What you have there is a lot of turret lathe holders. Some for boring, some for OD cutting, even a few for Roll Threading. The long threaded parts look like stops for turret position depth. Best I can do right now, hope it helps.

In the 3rd 4th 5th and 6th pic are turret tooling. Shank size there is important. If 5/8 or 3/4 shanked I'd be interested in some of those. Not sure if your intent is to sell any?
Last pic is 3 or 4 flycutters and looks like a couple of slitting saw arbors. Mill tools, the drill chucks would be mill or lathe use.
In the second pic there is a knurl tool on the left, and the threaded shafts could be stops as Bill mentioned or centers for laps.
 
If indeed they are going to be for sale, I'd be interested in all the turret holders with a 5/8 shank. You have competition Russ. LOL

At the moment I'm just trying to ID what I have. Obviously I want to see what is useful to me. That's not to say they won't be sold, just not right now.

Can you tell me what they are used for? What do they do?
 
Ok, was able to look up roll threading on line. I see those tools and semi-understand how it works. My question is why? I assume it is faster for multiple repetitive parts. But for one-offs, seems like single point threading would be fine. Also, wouldn't single point cutting threads have more options for custom threads?


I'm guessing this is more applicable to production shop type work.
