What is this? Welding related? help me out..
 

I don't know what these are really for, I have a box of them. came amidst some junk I got from work. I think they may be for welding, for grounds or something.

any ideas? anyone use(d) these or know what they are for?

What does the "bottom" of it look like? The portion that is face down on the table.

a hole. I assume the size of 4/0. to like insert cable in. then maybe you bolt it to something to get a ground? i dunno. maybe i'll just sell the copper for scrap haha.

might be a contact tip

Probably screws/bolts into a welding machine.

Thats what I was thinking. You might be able to insert a welding lead into the hole on the bottom.

That's a Shrouded Ferrule. And they are far from being cheap. http://www.highvoltagesupplies.com/store/product/shrouded-ferrules-2015-1192.cfm
