LEMPCO REAMER DRIVE It's heavy cast iron right angle drive with 30-1 reduction I know how to put it to use. IT's a right angle drive with enormous speed reduction (AKA power amplification). Picked it up for $45 It is old. maybe 90 years old. Seems nice and tight. Thing is I haven't a clue why they called it a Reamer Drive. There was a Lempco Evans Reamer company making weird looking reamers with the reamer part in the middle of a shaft and a square drive https://www.tzsupplies.com/tool-lempco-reamer-381aa-size-i2512844/ Possibly they made it to support their new fangled die stamping sets that were supposed to be very fast and had ball bearing posts. This drive came off of a farm in Florida.

From the album: John Morris's Hand Tools
I am tooling up for Windsor chairs and this craft requires a few tools I don't have. In the image are three tenon cutters, or for you UK folks "rounding planes". These tools came as a set, a leg tenon cutter, an arm-stump tenon cutter, and a 1/2″ spindle tenon cutter, plus one six-degree reamer and one 5/16″ dowel plate. These tools are specific to the Windsor tradition but of course can be used for a wide variety of work, I am beyond ecstatic to have these on my work bench, they feel great, works of art within themselves. They'll be a pleasure to use. Thank you Elia for making these wonderful tools available to us, can't wait to use them!-

Entering my Windsor chair-making adventure and tooling up, while I have the funds, I am purchasing what I can and as quick as possible before something comes up around our home that my "machinery sell off fund pool" has to be tapped, naw naw naw, not this time, it'll be spent before we get a flat tire, or a busted water heater. I purchased this set of tenon cutters and reamer from one of my favorite resources for Windsor chair making, http://handtoolwoodworking.com/ These tools came as a set, a leg tenon cutter, a arm-stump tenon cutter, and a 1/2″ spindle tenon cutter, plus one six-degree reamer and one 5/16″ dowel plate. These tools are specific to the Windsor tradition, I am beyond ecstatic to have these on my work bench, they feel great, works of art within themselves. They'll be a pleasure to use. I can't wait to build my own shave-horse and sit in it, and start shaving, and rounding, and sawing and much more. Once I get going, I'll be sure to blog my experience. Thanks for sharing in my excitement!
