Uploaded image
**Identification (Make & Model)**

This image shows a live tool/spindle head with a silver nameplate on its top face. The make and part number could not be read from the photo. For clarity: the nameplate is present but not legible in the image.

**Visual Description of the Main Item**

The main item is a rectangular, black-finished tool housing. A short cylindrical spindle shaft protrudes from the top center. The top face has a small silver nameplate. Bolt holes and machined mounting faces are visible on the body. One side has a recessed pocket or access area. The spindle nose and shaft look like hardened steel.

**Condition and Observable Wear**

The housing shows normal workshop wear and light surface marks. The spindle shaft appears intact with no obvious cracking. The nameplate is still attached but not readable in this photo. No major deformation or missing fasteners are immediately visible.
