Title: Craftsman ....what's it used for?
Post by: swervncarz on September 06, 2013, 06:07:10 PM

Can't figure out what this is used for..... It's craftsman.... Thinking it may be part of something bigger...... Looks like it's made to hold something

Probably a hold down for a mortising attachment for a drill press.  Google around a little, and you'll find other examples.  This holds the stock down when you're pulling the mortise chisel/bit out of the stock.

This is my thought, too.  Mortising machine hold down.
