So is it for trimming and punching holes for book binding?

Actually it is not - in fact, it should help never having seen it ...

So is it for trimming and punching holes for book binding?

Not for book-binding, no ...

Attaches the lining in a coffin ??

Ugh - no ...

Is it for measuring the height of something?

No, it doesn't measure height ...

Room or distance measurer?

Nope, sorry, not a distance measuring device.

[SifuPhil]

Pocket hole machine for wood joinery ?

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winna!!!

Phantom has correctly identified this item as a Pocket Hole Machine or Door Lock Mortiser. It was used to create a hole or mortise in a wooden door slab to fit a mortise lock. You've probably seen such a lock before without knowing its proper name -



Nowadays the lock mortising is done by the descendents of the old mortiser, usually employing a power drill or router in lieu of the manually-operated chisel -




Congratulations Phantom (Ghost Who Walks) for the big win, and thank you all for your inspired answers!
