If it's not a knobless saucepan lid, then it's a stripped doorknob lock, from one of those youtube "how to" clips:

how to pick doorknob locks.

Or it's a very small keyhole in the middle of a very round door.

Wormhole security hatch.

Roundness tester.

So many ideas. None of the new ones are right.
Not a knobless saucepan lid, nor a stripped doorknob lock, Wormhole security hatch, it could be used for that, but it would have to be for a hole made by a very large worm.
Roundness tester, half right.
Turntable platter, no but it does have to do with sound.
Not a CD cleaning disk.
As for a parting saw, no.
But on that beat I part ways.

Pitch the right answer sounds right. So does head tool, but what is it?

I forget the name, but don't they use big discs like this when tuning drums?

How does it work? Is that drum for beating, or an oil drum?
Help.

I believe it measures the tension of the drum head as a quick way for a tin ear to tune a drum.

Thanks for the win. We had a similar one awhile back, here is a modern one. Slightly photoshopped to remove obvious clues.

Close as I can come is to it is for putting feathers and tips on both end of and arrow shaft. The feathers have to be just so so on the shaft?

Grant wins. Over to you. It is for fletching, or placing the feathers on the back end of the shaft. Or as some engineers would call it, the anti-pointy end.

Not everyone is going to need one of those, but when the time is right you would appreciate it.
