The two solid cutters are tenon cutters for sure. The adjustable one? I just don't know. Looks more like a chuck to hold and spin something, but then I can't see it too clearly.
 
 The pointer is a tool I need. I am having to rough out with a drawknife freehand
 
  Here are the two other common styles of tenon cutter, and what they do.
  Both need new blades. I am working on it.
 I need some tool steel 1" wide and about 1/8+" thick and at least 4" long,
 if you see any scraps laying around............(he begged)
 
 Oh I just grabbed a stick of firewood off the ground, for testing. :)
  yours Scott

See...you should have bought all those broken chisels at the yard sale ;P

Yes...threaded dowls were very popular for a while, one of the glueless type of  joints

I Don't know that I have seen one with multiple blades tho....

The pointer is a neat tool, is actually in the fun realm to use.   Scott, for your new blade steel, use an old lawn mower blade, the price is right.

I have a thread cutter for wood, much more modern though.

It only has one v-shaped blade to cut the thread.

It cuts threads for push brooms, oaint sticks, etc.

Yep, #4 is a pointer.  It's kinda hard to make out #2, but it doesn't look like any adjustable I've ever seen.  Those look like one or the other of the two Scott posted.
