    Are these useful for something?
    Any idea what they do?

  2. They bear some resemblance to tool and cutter grinder accessories, I've used something similar to the green accessory to sharpen flutes on a cutter with a small spring steel finger on an arm to index the cutter flutes like your has. The finger will also follow an existing spiral or straight edge on a reamer and ensure the reamer/drill spins as it goes past the grinding wheel. The Baldor motor is a nice score, I have one very similar to power my smaller lathe.

    The blue thing looks like an airspindle for grinding the helix on endmill.

    I didn't buy them (yet) but I was thinking of getting them if I can figure out what they are for. They are pretty cheap at $100 for some bits and pieces includeling them I just don't know exactly what I'd be getting. They look expensive whatever they are. Also not sure what bits might be missing. They were included with a large number of stone grinding bits in the lot as well.
     
  5. You'd likely want a tool and cutter grinder for best use, like a Cincinatti or a Makino C40:

    Yeeah maybe one day. Alright ill pass on these things since it looks like they are only pieces of a bigger item and probably have missing parts.
