Creative responses. I particularly like the thought of a very tall cow
It is actually a poor-man's forge:

I was inspired by this photo from somewhere:

That would require an anvil, and real blacksmithing skills, but close.

At first I thought it was a roller for an English wheel, but seeing the last pic it looks like a part for a Battlebot!!!

It will be parted off to be a spacer to adapt the sawblade to fit a smaller shaft on a circ Saw.
You can buy them at Carbatec, or you could years ago when I worked for them.
I have quite a few to suit different sizes.

My business card does mention killer robots:

so Kryn might have been on the right track?
but no, Henry is closer. It doesn't get parted off – actually used as replacement washer:

or an arbor, so it locates better on the long threaded spindle of this Tanner table saw.
Here is the original washer, and the blade below has what my Dad used to do; carefully fit a washer and centre-punch it for a tight fit:

Mystery 5
A slug of cast iron, some turning and drilling:
IMG_2352.jpg IMG_2353.jpg
Surface grind the rough side, as a reference for grinding the lathe faced side:
IMG_2354.jpg IMG_2355.jpg
(looks like my Hercus cross slide is nearly dead on perpendicular?)
Turn a 75° taper on the rough front, and a groove on the side:
IMG_2357.jpg IMG_2358.jpg IMG_2359.jpg IMG_2360.jpg
Then drill a side hole, and a clearance hole, for a grub:
IMG_2361.jpg IMG_2362.jpg IMG_2363.jpg
(looks like my centering indicator is inaccurate?)
IMG_2364.jpg
IMG_2365.jpg
So, finished object. What is it for?

I was thinking a pulley first off, but I think it's a former for a bender ?.

Happy New Year Nigel, Nice pictures.
A quick tip for getting a hole dead centre in a round object !
Use a "V" block in the vise then align the drill in the bottom of the "V". As long as you don't move the vice or the drill, when you sit your work on the "V" block and drill it, it will be perpendicular to the bore.
Having a vice on an X-Y table helps greatly.Best Regards:
Baron J.
