    Are we looking at the front or back of the machine? Is the upright bar a blade or cutter of some kind? It looks sort of like a miniature band saw. However, with all of the knobs, it has to be for something precision. Do you have any other views?

    gyver Rely on yourself not on others.

    Looks like an old pipe threader.

    Sorry guys. Work has been crazy.

    Red,

    After doing a little more research I think you are correct that it is a belt driven tool. However, the belt appears to have been powered by a hand crank, so the scale of those pulleys needs to be described as diminutive.

    Here is an image of a similar tool complete with its crank, stand, etc.

    Is it a watch gear cutter?

    It is indeed.

    Technically, it is a rounding up tool used to to cut wheels and pinions.
