As I've mentioned before, I'm just getting into machining. My dad was a machinist and I inherited a lathe and a pile of tools when he died a few years ago.
One issue I'm having is not knowing what the heck some of these things are (oh, I wish dad was still around). So, I'll posting some photos of things that mystify me ...
Today, however, I need a bit of help with some parts that came with my new ZX45 mill. These things were in the box of parts that came with the lathe, but not mentioned at all in the owner's manual.
I've done some looking around and I believe the one on the lower left is an arbor for a face mill? And the one on the bottom right looks like a Jacobs taper, presumably for a drill chuck?
The upper two, however, have me stumped. It appears the one on the right slides into the one on the left, but that could just be coincidence. Anyhow, what are they?
