What is this?
 
Our production manager found this at work. Has no idea what it is? Maybe some kind of cutting tool?

What say you?

Lika a go / no-go gauge?

How big is it? It looks like a carbon brush for an electric motor

About 1/4" thick nd 1-1/4" long maybe.

The finish is not polished like I'd expect a gage block. It does look like it could be a carbon motor brush.

Is it magnetic or does it mark a piece of paper?

Looks like a brush but its not, Its steel.

Do you have mills at work? Seems like that could be a tooling fixture — some kind of cradle. I would guess it got separated from other tooling.

I think we did, long ago. When we had a fabrication guy. Now we're just an assembly plant.

I piece of the blockchain that fell off

herr_oberst 01-18-2024 12:58 PM

It looks sintered, not machined. At least in the picture.

It's a small piece of tooling. Could be half of a die? Or possibly (don't think this is correct) a punch?

Doesn't look sintered to me. Looks like a piece of old carbon steel that was milled into shape.

Its a small blanking punch for a die.

DRONE 01-19-2024 05:47 AM

Looks like it could be a key to keep something from rotating / aligned
is it magnetic?
material looks like it is a mild steel

Eric Hahl 01-19-2024 07:14 AM

Thank all. I was thinking some kind of die.
