   You will probably get more responses if you post it as a jpg file rather than a Word 2007 document.

   Chamfering attachments for a drawknife, Leetn, by the look of them.Cheers,eddieedit: who's wondering why a modern tool store would bother carrying them.

   Thanks!

   They are clearly not still carried at Woodcraft. They three store employees all said that one of the part-time people who was there when the store opened twenty years ago might recognize it.

   Lee Valley still makes a version.  http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=1&p=58664&cat=1,41131,41140

   I don't know who buys them.  I'd have thought they're the kind of aid that stops you acquiring skill with the tool.

   I bought some.

   I'd have thought they're the kind of aid that stops you acquiring skill with the tool.

   Think of them more like the depth stop on a plough plane.  Could you plough a groove without it?  Sure.  Would you have to keep checking the depth if you had a need for a consistent or specific depth?  Yup.  Would it save you time and effort if you could just keep going until the stops kept the tool from cutting further?  Yup.

   Don,
   That is strange indeed: when I click on that I get a picture of two planes that were in Patrick Leaches recent list-how does that happen? And I get the same if I open it with Firefox or save to file....
   So I wait for him to repost so I can see the mystery tool.Philip Marcou

   This will only open properly in whatever is the latest version of MS Word or in Openoffice 3. (That's assuming Word doesn't crash :-) )I wouldn't be surprised if your computer is getting confused and opening something else, probably in your cache.

   Look like some sort of chamfering device.  I saw something like that on one of the "old tool lists".  You hook it up to a spokeshave or something along those lines.

   Just my guess.
