    I have 3 parts.

    My first part is made from steel. It is a cylinder but one end has a series of graduated steps, each of smaller diameter than the last.

    My second part is also made from steel. It has a series of semi circular holes along one edge. One side of each hole is chamfered at a 45 degree angle.

    My third part is a mirror image of my second part.

    What am I?

    No, not a hose joiner. Parts 2 and 3 are held together with a couple of bolts and wing nuts.

    Nope. This one is a tool of a particular trade.

    Part one resembles a punch.

    My Dad's got one of these in his toolbox.

    OK, I'll leave you to stew on this one over the weekend.

    The last clue is that parts one and two are held together by the bolts so that the semi-circular holes line up with each other, forming a series of circular holes of different sizes. The different diameters of the steps on the punch match the diameter of these holes.

    This is very hard without a picture

    Sounds like something a cobbler or shoemaker might use to punch holes in leather.

    How about a pipe flaring or swaging tool.
