Today’s teaser, what is it ? what is it for
What's my line. / What is this tool / item used for-- panel had to guess.
Is it some kind of sine calculator, or some other compound angle plotter or calculator? Where do you get all this weird stuff! :-)
An adjustable template for marking out… something.
Gagaryn It is calculator of sorts and it does work out angles.
Pompeyexile Yes it is – but anges for what ? SEE YOU CAN JOIN IN 👍

Pantograph device for scaling drawings?
Lelit Elizabeth, Niche Zero
V60 with Drip Assist, Clever Dripper, Knock Feld47
Aeropress, Knock Aergrind
Sorry not a pantograph.
Is it for working out unusual mitre joints?
I have never seen anything like it….do you actually have any ordinary tools in your workshop?
- Edited
Elcarajillo yes it does
Gagaryn Yes it is👍
DavecUK Yes of course I do,mostly mundane ones but also a few odd / unusual ones🤣
Gagaryn Not quite as flamboyant/ usually a boiler suit but quite a variety of ‘stuff in the garage’
I think this run long enough
The tool is an automatic roofing square, giving all the cuts and lengths per Ft / run traditional roofs.
The cuts (bevels) although 45 deg in plan need to be worked out geometrically to find the actual angle to mark on the timber.
Below shows the face of the square and it’s slightly more modern version IF you know ho to use it.
a month later
Here’s another one, it’s not a tool though.
Is it from a coffee doser, the return spring ?
Elcarajillo , nope , cold I’m afraid 😕
I’m pretty sure that I have a box of them in the garage, with the tool needed to deploy. I won’t say what I think it is to let other people guess
