Mandrel for holding tube in the lathe

Easy to say now now the answer has been revealed (), but something like that was my first thought, tightening the screws drives the three dogs out to grip a bore. I didn't comment earlier because I couldn't see any sort of taper or wedge to actually push them out, so I figured it was something else.

The screws are countersunk. Just offset the hole slightly and the countersink does the job. The same as insert tooling.
