The symmetrical irregular cutouts on the sides of the base MUST be the key to answering this question. The knob screwing down to hold the upper swing-out down tightly indicates that this is not an item where speed to open it up is necessary. It also appears there is space between the inner section between the upper movable piece and the inner area of the base yet the mounting holes on the base are countersunk. Interesting.I got this with some other parts in the "bag 'o stuff" with my plane but I can't figure out what it is.
Someone here has to know what it is.......care to share?
Thanks,
Dave
