Strange lathe tools; need help

Beats the hell out of me,

looks like it may be some sort of broach or something simmilar

I think that they are scrapers.

These tools look as if they are for wood turning, but since they lack the length and the handles normally associated with wood turning chisels, could they have been made for an automatic wood lathe. I seem to recall once seing an automatic wood lathe turninhg snooker table legs, the machine was fitted with a sort of capstan toolpost holding turning tools of a similar nature.

I reach the answer!!! It is special tools devoted to squarehole drillling in wood... "slotting machine" is it the english word???

Here is the description of the machinetool, quite complicated motion!

is the long slender tool, with a sort of shark hammerhead type end. I is used in a woodworking machine to cut the mortice slot for a mortic & tenon joint. It reciprocates rapidly sideways and the workpiece i clamped on sliding table & fed towards the cutter. Two other blade which reciprocate in & out cut the narrow sides of the slot. Possibl some of the other cutters are for this purpose, I have only dealt wit the type I mention. Just wish I could make the description more lucid. Regards Ray Sidel
