Are these engraving tools

[delgraving]

Still going through my estate lot and found the items below. Im pretty sure the two on the left are unsharpened engravers, the two in the middle may be lathe tools but could be gravers and i dont know what the wheel thing is. Any thoughts?

looks like wood carving chisels to me. the disk may be from some sort of rotary indexing fixture. the tool on far left-- mabe a bezel or prong pusher.

 

[don hicks]

The two in the middle and the the two on the left look like palm wood carving tools and the round piece is a dividing head plate. Just my opinion, it's hard to tell their size, throw a quarter beside them for comparison.

Monk and Don look to be correct. Because of the size of the handles, the plate shown looks to be from an indexing head of some kind, and may be from a compound indexing head. Possibly not, though, and possibly from a homemade indexer. There should be more items along with it, so if you locate such, I'd be interested. It's doubtful that it bolted onto a jewelers lathe, as usually the fixed, largest pulley is drilled for 360 holes, in some cases, as mine is and is secured with a shot pin. There are small indexers that would take a small plate, such as yours. Keep us posted on whatever else you may find.

The round plate looks like it is for a meat grinder.MTC

The round none looks like the indexing plates I have for my lathe, not quite the same as mine but fairly close. 2 wood carver's chisels and no cue on the lower left ones.

Top is definately an index plate for a lathe/ milling machine. The numbers stamped on the straight line indicate the number of holes achievable on a full rotation. Next 2 are roughing gouges for hand turning wood. Can also double as carving tools. Would need to see business end of other 2 to ID.

Round plate looks like mechanical divider for small lathe
I also noticed the numbers on it

The round plate is definitely for a dividing head, probably one of the smaller ones given the other tools. If the center hole is 1 1/8" (if my memory serves) it would probably fit an Ellis or one of several smaller dividers.

It is one of the plates of a universal dividing head much like this on the following thread

OK except the two lower ones don't look to be gravers but pushers for bending over claws and bezels when setting
