Yes, its turned with a wide flat belt and does appear to be able to secure a saw blade or grinding wheel. The two cups are indeed grease cups.

Found this in my late father-in-law stuff. Its a machine part, about 10 x 10 inches or so. Its marked COVEL MFG Co Benton Harbor Mich. Notice the sides of the base are beveled like it slides into a track of some sort, sort of like a tool holder on a lathe. Also, notice, the left end of the...

Here's some more of mine. 1/4" set in the box (with two different Philips driver bits) and PLOMB large screwdriver. All came from my dad.

San Jose CA. I'm just looking for an online source for blades...

Thanks for the info everybody. Where is a good place to get blades ??

Got this from my Father-in-Law's estate. Its about 11 inches long overall, made to clamp to a bench, and has a 3/8 square drive on the business end. Its geared 3:1, one rotation of the crank turns the spindle end 3 times. Any ideas ?? I have some but don't want to influence anyone else's...

Any ideas what this is ??. When the knob is turned, the plunger moves in and out. The end of the plunger is slotted and there are two fingers on the side like it hooks under something so the plunger pushes something down. Came from my Father-in-law's estate and he was a Jack of all trades.
