I have something like that. Its used on a wood lathe to cut to a

I wonder what makes the seller so sure that it is a wood measuring caliper?

If you were in a factory making wood handles that needed to be 1 inch diameter. For the preformed metal collet to fit over the wood. You would set this tool to 1 inch and then just go to town by pushing it down over the top of all the pieces you putonto the lathe. No measuring or guesswork involved.

I'm sure that most of us are familiar with the use of calipers for determine the diameter of a
turned object. Even if we (I) don't turn, we (I) have seen it done, understand the process, etc.
The question here is: Why the extra long handle? The turner typically stands right at the lathe
and the work piece is at arm's length. Why would an extension handle be needed? Seems like
it would be more cumbersome to use than the "normal" method, shown below:

The small size of the calipers combined with the long reach of the
extension just don't seem to go together. A puzzler indeed.

It's not for checking, it's for *sizing*. This is a cutting tool, not a measuring tool. You want that long handle for leverage. Today's
lathes, you can get by with a shorter handle because higher RPMs mean shallower cuts, but on older slower lathes you'd need the longer handle
to fight against catches and digs.
This kind of tool is used to quickly and accurately cut tenons, or to do
a final pass to get a "perfect" diameter.
