Good call Janger. (Might need to push the vise in a bit LOL).Those holes let the coolant out!

Even though it's only a 4" vise I loose valuable y axis travel toward column if I push it in anymore. I won't likely be running flood coolant anyhow.

6 inch tableWhere did this comment come from? I take it John commented on your vise overhang.
That's a 4" vise? What size is your table?
Not as bad as mine I probably have as much overhang in the front as you do and I for sure have more out back and its mounted in the furthest back table slot.

Back slot or front slot? It looks like it's mounted on the front slot.
What is the specialized use for this type of reamer/cutter?
Oh interesting that makes sense. Thanks.-- it looks like a seater reamer. This is used to create a flat seat for a nut when a stud goes through a casting. The inner diameter is the thread major diameter, and slips over a stud to centre the cutter.
The shank looks a little too small for an annular cutter. My annular cutters have a 3/4" shank.
Yes I believe they are cut at 90 degrees but I will double check in the morning and correct my statement if I'm wrong. I've locked up the shop for the night and am in the house tuckered out already.Don are the teeth cut at 90 degrees to the spindle? that is if it's a seater reamer (new to me!) then it should make a flat 90 degree surface for the nut. In the picture it's hard to tell but are those teeth taller at the outside edge?
Ha ha I've got one of those too! Mine is a Starrett brand ( I think the only Starrett tool I own) . It was my father's and I remember playing with it as a kid and couldn't quite grasp its purpose at the time. That was about 45 years ago and it was probably 20-30 years old at that time. I will take a picture of it tomorrow for fun comparison.Since this has turned into the weird tool thread - I've got one for you all. I inherited this odd thing from a friends machinist father after he passed. Dabbler explained it to me. It's an analog rpm meter. You put the end against the spindle or whatever is turning and it counts how many revolutions. Combined with a stop or watch or just second hand you can then work out the RPM. I have no idea how old this is. Pretty neat.
