Some type of tooling set up. Looks like a deburring tool and a cutting bar. I’ve seen similar set ups for lathes, but this looks different. Possibly the item that looks like a cutting bar is actually an indexing stop.

The vise and angled bit looks like a chain/ saw sharpener?

Yep, but does the spindle get turned by a lathe motor?

I would say the tool shaft was turned by a hand drill.

Chainsaw sharpener, I doubt it. Possibly for a small or hobby lumber mill bandsaw blade.

Bandsaw blade seems plosible, would explain the thin gap when the clamp is opened.

A chainsaw sharpener clamps on the drive teeth, which are about 1/16". The clamp lever in the pic is also adjustable. I have a modern one with that same setup except mine has a grinding wheel.

And it even has the tooth brake mounted on top.

I have something very similar for sharpening the blades on my Woodmizer sawmill.

pitch is wrong for a chainsaw. The device has a lot of adjustments on it but none that I can see to change the pitch.
