my last job, customer found this part in the sawdust pile, I looked all over the mill and can't figure out where it goes. it is 3/4 x 3/4 and has a hole in one side, looks plated or stainless.

I would guess it is a bracket for retaining an ammeter or other type of guage in an instrument panel.

Looks like the bracket that holds one of the mill scale rules in place. If it is, your also missing the wingnut bolt that holds it down too.

I would say....if it's not  ORANGE......it came off of something else.  ;D

I just scoured my 40 super, no sign of this part anywhere, not knowing your year, it could be the scale bracket mentioned?  head scractcher for sure,  I always hate these phantom pieces that at times show up not knowing where they come from.  I guess if it did come off your mill at some point you will find out where,  good luck.

Hello,
I think it is off the blade scale like Show Me said. You will need a wing nut to go with. It holds the lumber scale.

If it is aluminum definitely off the ruler stick that holds the ruler in place with a 1/4 inch wing nut.
