Round iron thingy.

Round iron thingy.
I see you are a wrench collector also
-
Oh, heck yes.
But, sometimes, I learn odd things hanging out here.
I don't quite know why or how, but it happens....
-
If it is not a round tenon cutter, it must be for cleaning up the bottom of the hole cut for a round tenon. (Papaw is not a woodworker, either.)
-
Are you sure it's not a tenon cutter? It looks like one to me!
For a ratcheting brace, but still a tenon cutter...
Can we see the working end?
-
Tenon cutter, or hollow auger, think chair spindle ends. It is hollow right?
-
It is hollow ,but the blades are on the face
tenon cutter works like a pencil sharpener?

pretty good sized one would not be surprised if it wasn't a wheelwright's spoke tenon maker.

It looks like a round tenon cutter to me.

The tool called a "pointer" which is used before using this one, works like a pencil sharpener. Many tenon cutters only have one blade, and several are adjustable as to size and depth. A pointer is shaped somewhat like a funnel.
-
Yup this is a single size tenon cutter. There are a lot of multi sized cutters and adjustable cutters. This one cuts a single size and does it very very well.
For when you have a lot of same sized tenons to cut
yours Scott
-
I believe what you have there is a dowel cutter/maker
-
Tenon cutter or hollow auger is what it's called. Like Scott says, this one is the sort that comes in different sizes. The blade (or blades, depending on the maker) cut away the parts that don't look like a tenon and set the shoulder.

Since things are going so well here, I am adding pics of the rest of the woodcutters box.

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. :)

>an adjustable tenon cutter?

took me a minute to understand this
threads, like pipe? nope not sturdy enough
wood..? OH!!!
like broomhandle threads...
or legs into the bottom of a table threads
-
> I need some tool steel 1" wide and about 1/8+" thick and at least 4" long,
See...you should have bought all those broken chisels at the yard sale ;P
like broomhandle threads...
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.
-
Also once referred to as hollow augers..which they sort of are...an insideout drill bit...
1873 catalog...lots of sizes....
