Machinists? Any idea What this part is for?

Looks like a nice machined part. heavy too. as a gear underneath when you turn it it spins 2 litlle discs on the side in opposite directions.

Any help???

looks like a balance shaft setup from a quad 4 GM engine or maybe it was a Ford 4 cylinder

I don't know. But I could see that thing being a sweet motor for a bead roller. If you could come up with a drive gear and motor. And it was the right width for the rollers. Looks like it would be nice and slow, with lots of torque.

It is balance shaft setup out of a Ford 2.3L Focus engine.
