U will need ALL of them for various shop projects and engine/trans building.

From top to bottom:
Inside mics. For measureing bores like engine cylinders, bushings etc. VERY IMPORTANT to keep.

Dial indicator. for measuring end play of shafts etc.

Pin vices for holding very small drill bits. KEEP THEM.

pic 4711 not sure.

Small bore mics for measuring very small holes. PRECISION.

Edge finder. Probably not worth eBaying. Not alot of general shopuse.

Points for dial indicator in second pic above.



V blocks. VERY INMPORTant for drilling holes in the centre of shafts and other uses where u need to hold round things for centering. Can streighten small shafts.

Lathe tool bits. U will need these if u get a lathe. SEvERAL of them are Carbaloy bits (very expensive) used for for cutting extremely hard metal such as valve stems. DO NOT DROP THEM they break like glass.

Center drills and burrs etc. Centre drills good for starting holes into broken off bolts in the center.

pic 471b not sure.

Thread measure wire set. Not sure. They are most likely precision and can be used to measure small orifices such as carb jets.

pic 4719 ????????

Micrometer

Depth mic.

Micrometer.
Micrometer.
Micrometer.

****** KEEP ALL MIC's. U will need them for measureing shafts and use with internal mic's in pic 1.

Pic 4725: scale, calipers, depth gauge. angle gauge. Good for measuring things. Just keep them.


clamps for V blocks above.

4727 ????????

Wooden handle is a 3hree corner file ground into a bearing scraper. Used to fit bearings both babbit and inserts for VERY HIGH precision fits. Don't let anytone tell u that is a butcher way of doing it. It's the only RIGHT WAY to do it. Time consuming yes.
