What is this ?

[dieselsamurai]

Im probably being stupid but what is this for ? no makers name on it

That’s a tap holder
Probably röhm
I use one on my hbm

i was going to say it looks like it could well be a tapping head ..but not certain. Certainly not an auto reverse type by the looks.

 

[pressbrake1]

Actually take back röhm as there’s no flat grip
Might be just a 2 jaw chuck

 

[dieselsamurai]

probably not going to have much use for it wish id bought an auto reverse one last year when i was offered it cheap

 

[Hitch]

Is the taper a solid/fixed part of the body?

I've one that was made by BSA. I think that it's a drill chuck.

That's what it is - a very old drill chuck. I have one somewhere.
