I am going out on a limb here but judging from the obvious attempts at drilling ,turning ,and gouging I would classify it as a
BOO BOO !
Beats me, but it must've been important. I'd call it a bushing that somebody seriously felt it had to be messed with. Looks like it was pressed in and spun out. Part of a failed chuck or collet, maybe?
I bet it was a noise maker and somebody had to find out why.
It looks like a part I've seen in the bottom of an upright washing machine.
Scrap
It is a do-dingus for a thermathrockle.
Best, Fred
Also, these days it looks like a $78 surprise. If you're lucky.
Given that the groves around the part in question are not concentric, and there is a random hole though it; I am just going to use an FAA term and attribute it to "Catastrophic Failure". - john
I THINK I see it in the bottom of this container.
'Joe made' coil spring mandrel?

Interesting "Scrap " "Joe made " Found in the bottom of this container ,"Looks like a catastrophic
failure" Possible made with the tool on top of container , was a noise maker .
I did find it in the bottom of the washing machine , because i forgot to remove it from my pants pocket , after my wife did a load of laundry .
For the time being , i`ll call it Do dingus because that is probably the only way someone would pay 78 dollars for it
It does not make springs , but a possibility
So what is it

Noise maker! Told ya! It goes in the junk drawer.
Well, if was in my pocket and later found in the bottom of the washing machine it would, under no uncertain circumstances, be a "wife p!$$er offer"! :-[ ::)
Ok so drill bit goes thru the center hole to spin the assembly, so the screwdriver (that's just a flathead right? Or is it some type of file) can be used to either score something? Either that or a stuck bearing loosener.
After seeing joes unorthodox uses for tools, I've learned to think outside the box if I'm trying to guess what he's up to.
Practice, with a new lathe?
I have a 5 gal bucket of oak from learning how to use a: table saw, planer, joiner, and router .
Billet of steel, run through the lathe.

You need a bigger bucket.

Fixed it for you , Now you have a proper size bucket .
it's a prototype... for a piece of junk
It's a press for making miniature doughnuts. I like sprinkles on mine please
I like mine "glazed "
Thought it looks like half of a grommet press
So, the "reel" question is, how well does it work? Does it give a nice clean cut all around on both edges or do you have to do some touchup work after the smack?
The real answer .... it was piece of scrap all thread rod that i tried to fit this die to make some oc drag washers . It worked , but i wished i had a little more od diameter stock to make it a little stronger for the outside wall . . It was a experiment , now i can refine the prototype .
Whatever it is is, I would bet you cannot buy it, by only having a picture of it.
You will know you have seen it before.
You will know that you have one.
You will, eventually, realize you will never find it.
You should write down the name of the part, and its' part number and save it where you could find it when needed.
Having said that, I would want to just throw it away, but I know I would regret it and that and I will need it in the future, so I will just put it in a safe place.
ETA: OMJ, trolling can be construed as a crime. ::) :o :d
I told you all it was for punching out mini doughnuts....you guys never listen to me lol :d
Military test, from up to 12 km above.
I did make another size cutter and i did blow out a outside ring section on the first cutter .
I tried to fit it in the scrap piece of all thread .
