Oh, heck yes.
But, sometimes, I learn odd things hanging out here.
I don't quite know why or how, but it happens....

If it is not a round tenon cutter, it must be for cleaning up the bottom of the hole cut for a round tenon. (Papaw is not a woodworker, either.)

Are you sure it's not a tenon cutter? It looks like one to me!

For a ratcheting brace, but still a tenon cutter...

Can we see the working end?

Tenon cutter, or hollow auger, think chair spindle ends.  It is hollow right?

pretty good sized one would not be surprised if it wasn't a wheelwright's spoke tenon maker.

The tool called a "pointer" which is used before using this one, works like a pencil sharpener.   Many tenon cutters only have one blade, and several are adjustable as to size and depth.   A pointer is shaped somewhat like a funnel.

Yup this is a single size tenon cutter. There are a lot of multi sized cutters and adjustable cutters. This one cuts a single size and does it very very well.
 For when you have a lot of same sized tenons to cut

Tenon cutter or hollow auger is what it's called.  Like Scott says, this one is the sort that comes in different sizes.  The blade (or blades, depending on the maker) cut away the parts that don't look like a tenon and set the shoulder.
