Hello all,
I have a general OT question here. I picked up a rolling cart with
some drawers and all the crap that was in them at a garage sale today.
In with some drills and taps ( an 1 1/4-12!) is a big piece of what I
assume is tool steel that is 1 x 2 x 12. It says Brown & Sharpe 920 on
the end. It was next to a 1/2 x 1 / 8 piece of tool steel that says
momax, and I belive that is a large cutting tool blank. Is that what
the Brown and Sharp pice is, or is it like a 1x2x12 block or something?
It measured 1.002 x 2.009, but there is a little surface rust in
spots.
Anyone know what this is? I'd hate to go grinding into something if
it's a precision ground measuring device or something like that. ;- )
Dave

Hi Dave,

It looks like you have parallel bar. I thought that's what it might be
and did a little search and found the following:



The momax may be a cobalt alloy cutting tool. Hope the above link
helps you.
