**Detailed Visual Description**
This is a BENZ-branded live tool head. It has a compact, square body. A short cylindrical shank rises from the center top. A round collar rests at the shank base. Bolt holes on the top face show where it mounts. A blue-and-white nameplate with a logo is attached to the side. The exact part number on that plate is not legible in the image.
**Key Physical Features**
The housing is dark grey metal with machining marks. The top shank looks serviceable and straight. The side has a small cylindrical coupling or output stub. Mounting faces are machined for accurate siting. Wear marks suggest normal shop use. No broken fins or obvious cracks are visible.
**What This Tells Us About Function**
This unit is clearly a live tool or driven tool head for a CNC lathe or turret. The collar suggests an internal bearing set for rotation. The compact layout fits typical turret-mounted live tooling. This piece is built for precision under intermittent loads.
