Others are saying it is a center punch. Is the 'arbor' and 'punch' connected such that it can be used as a center punch? To me, the 'arbor' and 'body' looks solid. Dan
Additional Note:
The 'shaft' is about 3/8" dia and appears to be one piece with the knurled and 'wings' section. My gut feeling is this would go into some sort of a chuck.
The only movable piece is the center. Again, spring loaded and not removable.
Does this help at all?
I'd agree with George. Looks like a punch for cylinders and small spheres. The knurled portion is for gripping with your fingers. The two "wings" are to position it on a cylinder's side. You give it a tap with a hammer, and the spring-loaded pin makes your mark and springs back up out of the way.
