I recently purchased a SB 9a, it came with a bunch of miscellaneous tooling etc. I found this part in the stash, not sure what it is. There are two pieces, both aluminum: a thicker top piece which attaches to a thinner bottom piece using 4 knurled screws. The bottom piece has a set of 24 threaded holes, at 15° intervals, into which the screws go. The top piece has a set of 8, threaded, 3/8-16 (?) numbered holes. Number 1 is in the center, and the remaining 7 are at staggered distances from the center. Photos below, the ruler is marked in inches.
Does anyone know what this is, and how to use it?
(It is possible it has nothing to do with the lathe.)
The gentleman who previously owned the lathe (who is no longer available to answer questions) often used it to turn pens, so that may be a clue - or a red herring.
