Made my first cut

I suspect the South Bend book will tell you exactly what you have. Until then, Good Work

This is from a SouthBend attachments flyer on VintageMachinery. The barrel is the same as what we’re looking at but the base is not — any chance a PO put together a hybrid for something using a follow rest base part?

The part number on the part is CSS-100NR. I found a description for it on the net as a "multi position production cross slide stop".

I have the one in the basement . Looks similar but not sure . I believe mine came off a heavy 10 I sold some time ago , it was mounted on the ways where a regular micrometer stop would be located . I could be wrong though , CRS is setting in ! Either way , I'll post a pic of it .

Could that have been on a cross slide of a Turret Lathe?

I tell ya......this disease spreads fast. BE CAREFUL, THE NEXT THING THAT GETS YOU IS TOOLBUYINGALISM.

They were correct, it is a carriage stop. You are just missing the mounting bracket to attach it to the ways. Rotating it gives you 4 different positions as you swap out tool holders. Good for making multiples.

Perhaps it can be used as a carriage stop or a cross slide stop? Certainly looks happy where it is and would be very useful for multiple repetitive operations.
I'd look out for another for use on the carriage.

I forgot what CRS stands for.
