Oh.... Lol, that thing.

It's a mill they use for turning / truing train wheels

It was at a place I was workin for a few days.

Railroad wheels,OMG .Well if it could turn down the hard steel"tires " on a boxcar wheel it would certainly have enough azz to mill out a chainsaw cylinder .Ha Ha ha ,one false move and it would fill the air with aluminum chaff ,poof. So much for that

Made some soft jaw covers for my lathe chuck. I'm thinkin this is gunna make it a lot easier to true up a jug by clamping against the fins.
