Recognize this?

Anybody know what this is for? The brass part turns inside the outer housing.

Maybe a propane bottle threads on and heats the cutting disk to make circles in something otherwise difficult to cut?

Some kind of circle cutter. The slider piece in the middle should hold the pivot.

What is the bushing for?

Reminds me of a bottle cutter. Back in the 70's people were cutting wine, beer bottles and making chimes. decorations, lights, etc. (you know, SoCal hippy ****)

The small wheel is not sharp at all.

The exposed threads on the center look like hose threads? What size are they?

It's a circle cutter for a cutting torch. The small square piece with the thumbscrew is the center pivot (the actual pointed pivot is missing, and it needs to be slid on the square bar rotated 90 deg from where it is now). The bushing is for the cutting torch nozzle. The roller supports the torch the correct distance off the steel plate.

Nice!

That is a special tool to rearrange things after your maid changes where they go

Yessir, that's it. Thanks.
