What is this??? Found this in the shop

[Lil Jack]

As I said in my introduction, I am liquidating a shop that belonged to a very close person to me who has passed. A couple of woodworker friends are helping me identify items but this has us stumped. Anyone know what this is???

Looks like a hold down attachment as a component which belongs to a machine.

 

[Lil Jack]

It’s quite possible that the machine may not be in the shop anymore. Thanks.

Nice cam though. Might be useful to make a TS fence.

 

[Lil Jack]

Thank you. I’ll look that up.

Shaper sliding table clamp would be my guess

Edit: just found this:

Do you own a hammer shaper?

 

[Lil Jack]

There is a Hammer C3 31 but it looks new and this piece looks old. It does look like it though. I wonder why it looks so rusty? (Edit). I just compared it and it has the same markings on the levers as the Hammer’s!!! Thank you so much!!!

It is the support arm and post for an motorized auto feeder.
I have one buried with the variable motor that goes 20-99 rpm
It usually has an articulating knuckle on the end that the motor is attached. Mine has3-4 wheels can't remember

 

[Lil Jack]

Thank you, I’ll look for those pieces.

Dang. So many promising guesses above but no one knew it to be a "dinglehopper."

And this it shall be called forevermore!!! Man, am I out of my territory!!!

Thank you all for your help. I will report the final diagnosis!!! If it’s ok , I may be posting more mystery pieces in the near future!

The handle marked "Kipp" is a standard item unto itself. Many machinery makers use Kipp brand adjustable handles. Paint match is a better tell.

This is from the Felder/Hammer catalog:

Somebody even made a YT video on how to mod it:

 

[Lil Jack]

Wow, thank you!!! That is totally it. I’ll watch it!!!Thanks so much for your help!!!

So, this eccentric clamp (dinglehopper). I don’t feel good about the rust that is on it. How do you think that happened and how would I remove it.

 

[Martin Roper]

If you neglect a steel or iron tool, it's going to rust, even in a garage or shop.

This clamp looks like it has mostly surface rust. There might be some slight pitting or discoloration when cleaned up.

I might give it a bath in a rust remover product then clean it up with fine steel wool. Maybe somebody else has a better suggestion.

I love this guy's videos:

It is a hold down clamp typically used on a sliding table saw. Needs a T slot in the table to secure it. How Much?

I don’t think I can sell it. I am selling my C3 31 and I think it might go with it. They are both the Felder brand.
