Good evening,
I am certainly not a lathe specialist but would really be pleased to learn
about the exact use of these strange cutting (??) tools...

http://membres.lycos.fr/landreger/ phot2 gives a global view...

Thanks for your help.

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.
