It's used on the Turbo Encabulator.
(That is, I haven't a clue.)

Thanks for being so helpful.
I didn't think you needed help. You said you knew what it was.

I'm pretty sure that is a pre-Turbo model. The thermo decoupler near the base is the giveaway.

I've never seen one.
Zero Google:
It looks like something meant to adjust tension on a belt of some variety.

Considering the overall size, balance would be good to re purpose for Zombie head breaker.
Adjustable sliding finger guard prevents novices from "choking up"... holding too high like a novice commonly holds a hammer.

Something for setting up the long rough cuts at the saw mill?
There must not be many logging tool collectors on here. It's an undercutter. When you're bucking up a log (that's laying on the ground) from the underside, it supports the back of the crosscut saw blade.
There are several different styles, including some small ones that clamped on an axe handle. Sometimes, axe handles were used for support.

How/where did you get it may be a clue.
It's like round part fits into a hole like a compass. I'm guessing late 1800s?

First you started off with a variation of that irritating old man that seems to be at every flea market 'stump the chump' come-on. Then you display your firm grasp of the obvious that there must not be many logging tool collectors on GARAGE journal. Then the coup de gras is an explanation WITHOUT a picture.....well done.

The little i know about tree felling ain't much, but that tool is a Undercutter or Underbucker?
Underbucking is the cut made from under the log upward.
Undercut is a combination of 2 cuts made when felling a tree, 1 of them being angled down or up. All this followed by the backcut. TIMBER!
I'd like to see a illustration of it in use.... i don't quite understand HOW?
Don't change ur post!

This is Real logging country, and around here, and in books, they are called undercutters. I have also heard them called underbuckers by people from other parts of the country.
It's like the falling/felling thing. Around here it's called falling, and the men that did that are called tree fallers. The axes are called falling axes.

With ur bragging about knowing what it was you should have been more complete with ur nana na nana answer. U posted on the www not just SW Washington. Its called underbucker on youtube and ebay.... i'll call it a underbucker if i ever see 1. What does the patents read?

You can argue all you want. The fact is that they are called both in different parts of the country.
Ebay has 2 for sale as undercutter/underbucker, and 2 that have sold as undercutters. All of those in my part of the country. When I sell one on Ebay I list it both ways because of people like you.
FYI: A Bulletin from the U.S. Dept. of Ag. says: "It has been pointed out that in cutting trees into log lengths it is not infrequently necessary to put a cut in on the underside. To assist in holding the saw against the wood while undercutting is in progress, an undercutter may be used. There are several types on the market, one of which is shown in figure 10."

I thought there would be more info online, but didn't look until today as I knew how it was used. The video doesn't help much.
So, I drew (?) a picture of how this one was used.
You drive the 2 points into the side of a tree you want to cut up. Let the square shank hang straight down. Position the roller so the back side of your saw will be supported up against the bottom of the tree. Start sawing, and reposition the roller as needed. This made it possible for one person to make the cut.
