any idea what this is used for

Saw this on eBay and was wondering what it would be used for. Someone obviously put a hell of a lot of effort into it.

Any good ideas? Holding pipe?

For holding irregularly shaped objects. A handy bit of kit.

Maybe holding a car brake disk?

It mentions 2" dia and unused. I suspect it was made by some one who "thought" they had a good idea.

I suppose it could be useful for work of a certain thickness looking at the depth stops. Maybe repetition work.
