So I bought a small box of tap wrenches, and it had a dollar general dial caliper in it, as well as this. The guy had no idea what idea it is, and neither do i, he seemed to think it had to do something with machining
The "roller has 2 textures and 3 different sized wheels that thread on.
/c/sounding
Please no
This is happening.
Sounds good

It’s a rasp with coarse and fine sides probably used for inside curves. This is more of a wood working tool but it could have been used for very soft metals or just about any plastics/polymers
Must people would understand better if you said file, but yeah, rasp is more correct.
I was going to make a joke, but I bet a lot of people legitimately didn’t have a woodworking class in school anymore.
I was “lucky” to get a red state public education. We got woodworking, cooking, sewing, and boating, fishing, hunting licenses before highschool.
Missed a lot of shit we shouldn’t, but that stuff is important too.
Hell, we should have taxes/financial stuff as well in there and basic electronics. A person graduating from public education should have all the skills needed to be a functional adult, and we haven’t been doing that for decades.
your pretty right about that, when I went through are construction class was just taking apart bleachers, making porch swings and taking apart stuff to steal the copper, there was one time one of the freshmen cut the copper pipe to a dehumidifier, and it leaked Freon everywhere, ahhh good times. also, we used the money from selling the copper and benches to buy tools and wood for the next year. So it wasn’t really wood working, but it was still pretty fun.
Yep, these rasp used to be used in my field for modifying the inside of prosthetic sockets, back when they were made of wood. I’m not sure if they were exclusive to our field or not, but I could probably find out what they were called in one of my books from college or one at my work if anyone is really interested.
We still use something similar , but it’s attached to a big router with a long arbor arm.
Don’t know exactly, but it looks like deburring tool. Does it rotate in the handle?
Metal deburring tools have similar shape, but are smaller and blade is a blade. This looks like it would work on crumbly soft materials like wood or plastic.
So that offset handle is a lot like an ironing rasp, but the cylindrical, swappable rasps set it apart. In my short search I couldn’t find an example of what you have, but I didn’t try super hard either. It’s a cool piece. If you are into furniture or instrument making its usefulness should become quickly apparent.
Possibly some kind of rasp for internal curves?
I would call it an offset round rasp. Probably belonged to a pattern maker or a fine woodworker. Can’t find an exact match, might be a Heller rasp.
Looks kind of like the de-burring tools we used for inside edges and large drill holes when I worked at a machine shop. I bet it’s for removing the edge on inside radiuses for woodworking.
Ferengi tooth sharpener?
(Actually, I agree with RobotToaster. Seems like a rasp or file for the inside of holes.)
Looks similar to a tool for bedding a rifle barrel in a wood stock.
Rasp sounds reasonable, but I worry that you’ll lose the microSD card you’ve got there … 😅
Mmm tasty snack acquired
Good luck with figuring out the tool, but I’m here to inquire about your keyboard
its a keycron C2 with cherry browns, my old one started to die, the A key didnt work anymore :(. I really like the old keyboard look, something just so classic about it.
Looks like it could possibly be used for making those popcorn patterns on a wet wall (concrete or paint) before it sets or dries.No, disregard. It doesn’t roll, from the looks of it.
Ha ha ha. The poor writing makes me think you’re addressing someone as “tool found in flea market.”
