Hello, This was found in a machinist's box. Any idea of what it would have been used for, or, part of? Thanks, Lou
Looks like something I made 30 years ago and forgot all about it. How did you get it?
Seriously, it's to someone's project and never did finish it, or could be a spare, or a scraped part that didn't pass inspection.
Looks like it has a couple of bearing journals for ball bearings, some kind of pulley attached to the middle and end. Just a WAG.

Ya, looks like a gearbox shaft.
Looks like a jack shaft to me. two keywayed slots for pulleys/sprockets and 2 bearing races. What it goes on is anyones guess.
