What is this?

| 16 forum posts 3 photos | I bought a box of old cutters, bits and pieces from a boot sale and when sorting through it I found this below. Can anyone tell me what it is and what it's used for. I appears to be some sort of cutter as it has sharpened edges on the sides and when rotated the two inside parts with the sharpened edges spin out. I've never come across one before and I'm not even sure how or what it's used in or if it's complete.

 6956 forum posts 229 photos | I suspect it is for cleaning up a bore that has become scarred or encrusted with gunk. Bit like a reamer but not a defined diameter. |

| 16 forum posts 3 photos | That would make sense, there is no way to fix/lock the outside width so I guess it's not a precision tool for a set diameter. |

 1071 forum posts | It appears similar to a Madison adjustable floating reamer. |

| 16 forum posts 3 photos | A floating reamer seems to be the answer. Thanks all, every days a school day. Though I don't get how you would use it as not being a fixed diameter I would have thought the results would be variable. |
