Can anyone guess what this homemade tool is used for on the well?

Internal casing/pipe cutter. But that's a diamond blade... cutting cement pipe or steel? If plastic, seems a fine tooth would be better. And then there is the why of it....

The tool is used for cutting the inside PVC casing to install a pitless adapter that once had a well seal on the surface casing, then we fix them to how they are our installed today.

When you have a surface casing say 6" and the inside casing that is smaller around 4.5" or larger in our area and how we can tell when a new well driller comes along with 4" casing all the way to surface with no surface casing to install the pitless adapter says Merrill but the pump just barely goes by the pitless adapter (It still needs bigger casing if the person wants a sprinkler system later with a bigger pump, bigger drop pipe, and 1-1/4" pitless adapter or go back to a well seal). The inside casing is the casing that goes the rest of the way down to the bottom depth of the well. This inside casing comes up to high inside the surface casing (above frost line) where you have to cut the inside casing below the frost line to install a pitless adapter on the surface casing, so it doesn't hit the inside casing when putting it in place.

It's for falling down old well houses where they can upgrade to help the customer and the pump installer to leave the well outside of the well house for straight drop pipe(no hole in the roof for future break down) or maybe they installed it on Polly pipe for you to pull by hand...fun doing that all the time.
