Name that tool..

Featured Replies

I've had these forever. They was with my grandfathers tools. I have no idea 

what they are or what they are used for. Both made by ANDERSON BROS MFG. CO.

Both have a slide on them. Both look like a file with no teeth. No sharp

edges anywhere.

That was fast.. Thanks...

 

I see that I'm missing the blades.

Looking on E-bay I don't even see where any blades has ever been sold.

I see the whole tool for sale but not the blades. Maybe I can make something

different out of them....

Found a picture of a blade on google.

Yeah bit rich for my budget.  Slushy fund is rather strained this week.  :JawDrop:

I actually have a set of them and know how to use them.  They’re scrapers to scrape cast iron ways for machine tools.  It’s a lost art because the machine tool makers grind their ways now.  When I finished my apprenticeship in 1977, we used red lead to mark the ways as we scraped them.  The feds outlawed red lead and went to a different compound.

Here’s the proof.  If you’ll notice there is carbide silver soldered to the scraper.  The other scraper is one that I used to scrape Babbitt or bronze bearings like on a Norton grinder.  Somewhere in the toolbox is a nifty scraper that I made to add “fish hooks” to the ways.

Yep.  The top one is a spoon scrapers for Babbitt.  I’ve got one but didn’t like it so I made my own.

Worked for an engine rebuilder for awhile and used the curves scrapers to fit cam bearings after installing new.

So... Is there parts missing on the bottom file looking thing?

Nope.  Just the handle.  

If you’ll look, the bottom one has been made from a file.  Looks like he put it in a surface grinder and tapered it.  Not uncommon at all.  Anyone who scrapes a lot has their own special tool and twist on how to do it.  Here’s a spotter that I used a lot.  The circle on the end is a rubber pad that You hit with the heel of your hand.

I'm not sure the file looking thing is a scraper. 

If it's not missing anything and I can't see how it could work.

There is no sharp edges on it anywhere. There is a stamped

Name/number on one side...

Well there was a file in that machinist chest I bought that had been ground down and now at least I can see a possible use.
