Hi All, Got this today at our local car boot, very heavy but cleaned up nicely.

My only thoughts are that it might be part of a tool & cutter grinder?

No makers marks anywhere so I assume it is user made. Any help would be welcome.

Cheers, Martin

Congratulations! You have got yourself a Clarkson radius grinding attachment and the brass plate is an angle gauge for clearance angles on cutter flutes.

Hi Baz, Thanks for the info. Cannot seem to see how the odd bits fit on the main part? Is it complete?

Congratulations on a rather good value purchase.I never see anything like that at our local car boot sales.

Bedroom Workshop is one of the better resources for Clarkson stuff.

Thanks guys, that is all really helpful info. The guy I got it from said he has more to clear from the same source and I have his number so will check to see if the rest of it might come to light.

Cheers, Martin
