Whatzit?

[Joe Kieve]

I found this in some old tools that were being tossed where I used to work. Does anyone know what it is? My thoughts are that it is some sort of router attachment. It is a Stanley GA-H 327.
Thanks for your help.
BTW, there are 2 tapped holes, 8-32, on the underneath side.

I don't know what it is. If that is a bearing on the end, you could use it on a router table as a guide above a bit.

Sliding door hardware maybe.

Edge guide for an old laminate trimmer.

Definitely an edge guide for laminate trimming. Used with a solid carbide bit. Far superior to using a bearing flush trim bit. The excess glue doesn't seize the bearing and cause burning of the laminate.

Thanks for your input. That is a bearing on the right end and the large wheel in the center adjusts it in and out. The little thumb screw on the left locks the wheel. That shop formerly did a lot of plastic laminate work, so I think you're right in that it's for laminate.

Thanks again,

Micro-adjuster for a Kombobulator... circa 1953 ;)

Cecil and Rick have the right answer. It's probably better made than most of the current stuff. Bosch bought out the Stanley power tools. I have a Stanley 1 HP. router not a laminate trimmer and it still works well. That router is over 25 years old too!
