Do you know what this is

Whilst sorting in the dining room, I have come across this object.  It is used in the kitchen, however, do any of you know what it actually does?

It is a gadget from the 1970's, which is not electrified.  So perhaps something to use when we need hand tools rather than powered.

Will reveal the answer at 4:00pm today.

Catch you soon.
