I don't know what these are really for, I have a box of them. came amidst some junk I got from work. I think they may be for welding, for grounds or something.




Text on it:

any ideas? anyone use(d) these or know what they are for?

 

What does the "bottom" of it look like? The portion that is face down on the table.

 

a hole. I assume the size of 4/0. to like insert cable in. then maybe you bolt it to something to get a ground? i dunno. maybe i'll just sell the copper for scrap haha.

 

might be a contact tip

 

Probably screws/bolts into a welding machine.

Thats what I was thinking. You might be able to insert a welding lead into the hole on the bottom.

 

That's a Shrouded Ferrule. And they are far from being cheap. http://www.highvoltagesupplies.com/store/product/shrouded-ferrules-2015-1192.cfm
