Bunch of carbide inserts/holders, height gauge, digital calipers, and… weird taps?

[Stuart Samuel]

Split a Kijiji listing with a coworker. Turned out to have less stuff that suits his lathe (Chipmaster), and more that suits mine.

Two things of interest, to me at least:


1 3/8-8 tap. Never seen that style of tip before. Anyone have a name for this? Also got a 1 1/2-8 the same style, and a more conventional 30mm spiral flute tap.

Also,


Whatever the heck this is? Takes male threaded inserts, but appears to be adjustable for rake angle.
Shank of above. Thanks, Boris! (Not really, he was a real grump)

I keep meaning to ask him if I’m alright to post about the move of the lathe a few weeks ago (and a mill this past weekend!)

Always like to see equipment moving pics...

Good score!
I think they are Crown or hollow end taps. Very accurate for starting a hole, top of the line tooling
Those micro boring bars again are top of the line and are excellent, especially for fine adjustments. I have some older style ones, but they are hard to find cartridges for them. Parts pop up on Ebay every now and then.
