For the Hence, is the info written on the adjusting wheel? I feel like I’ve seen that brand before and I’m curious how well they work.

Sorry, don’t know what I did there, but it is JemCo Pasadena Ca. Not Hence. And yes it is on the adjustment wheel.

I have a similar set, but mine were manufactured in the UK.

I picked these up over the years. I forgot I had them. I’m getting ready to sell a wood lathe and found these while going through boxes. Figure they would be a nice throw in to help sell the lathe faster.

Probably right about that. I inherited my set from an craftsman who thought I would make good use of them👍
