Looks to me to be a fixture for sharpening end mills and
conventional mills. You do need a tool and cutter grinder to go with
it. It looks to be an earlier design, as later ones use air bearings to
allow the spindle to move. The finger of flat stock is used to support
the edge of the cutter as it slides past the grinder wheel.

Enjoy,
DoN.
