It looks like a double ended stud to me, similiar to one like a car would
use to hold on the tire. VW entusiast often use ones with different sizes to
accomodate new rims on old hubs. Are there any hex sockets in the end muck?

Probably not. The saw used to belong to GEC, so they probably just bought
another on company money. I'm not sure which division of GEC owned the
machine (I acquired it indirectly) but by location I'd guess it was the
steam turbines division. I guess it's possible that this is a steam
turbine part.
