This maybe a silly Question Tool Inquiry

[CrazyHorse!]

A buddy needed some money I'm guessing some beer money and wanted to sell me some tools did not give much for this stuff but there are some bit /cutters he said they used in the field when he was an electrician
I have no ideal what they are.

now the other two I know I figured I could use them one of these days
would someone mind letting me know what the bit are used for

Thanks

funny looking electrical tools, these are tools for a machienest, did they belong to him, i question this because he said electrical tools

The two bits are end mills of some sort. Not really an electricians tool. Not familiar with the mount. What brand is the dial caliper and the 1-2" mic?

Bits.

I will buy both of the bits. They are for a specific type of drill. They fit a Hougen MAG drill and could indeed be used to cut holes in any trade that deals with metal. More commonly they are used to cut holes in the field on large steel generally 1/2" or above but they could be used for 1/4" easily. I can use both bits. If you like I will pm you with an offer. I will need to know the sizes. That's engraved on the side of each bit.

They are actually called Rota-broach bits.

those aren't end mills... those are annular cutters for a portamag... they mount in my milwaukee mag drill with two set screws on the flat....

definitely not an electricians tool...

I stand corrected. If they were in my shop they would become end mills of some sort.

I am going to offer $3 for the two. Do you really still want to make a bid?

You can use them in a mill!

Picture perfect.

Sonora, That's perfect! A picture really is worth...well, there ya have it.

Nice set of bit's by the way!

Monte. I'm missing the 1/2" I was hoping the small one was it. Guessing the large is about 7/8 but maybe the op will tell us. No I don't want to out bid you!

They were his beyond any question! so lets not start to assume anything or imply anything other wise.

He said they used them for boring holes in steel for electrical not that they were electrical tools! So apologizes if my post was not more informative.

I my self thought they would/could be used in a mill maybe.

They are Milwaukee brand
