I got my new HF 5980 and got it all cleaned up. I'm reading Machine Shop Essentials by Frank Marlow and have a few questions. I'm about two thirds through the book and have a friend who is a machinist coming over after I finish the book to get me started.
There are two rods 5/16" X 2-1/4" and a wedge that I cannot find a use for. The rest of the items I learned their use by the book, but have not figured out the wedge and rods. Can someone help me out with these? Thanks everyone. Larry

Wedge could be a taper, used to slide into the slot of an MT3 extension
to loosen anything placed in the extension. Try a search on taper in
the machinist book to see if your wedge matches a taper. Also used on
MT*->Mt* adapters for same purpose. Not sure about your rods, are
they threaded on one or both ends?
