Default Engineering/machining, can you help settle an arguement?

In the picture below, do you think it this groove was cut with the piece beside it??? I am saying a resounding yes for several reasons, but some people don't think I am right, so I just wanted a 3rd party view on this.

Thanks.

Close, it's an under reamer, used for drilling.... The one that's between the arm and the piece on the right. To me it's a no brainer as it's the only thing beside this that could've done it.

looks like the cutting bit has been pushed backwards and the holder/reamer/body has grooved it, you can see the straight line horizontal at top of cutting bit, it's nice and flat apart from a little bit at end suggesting bits not meant to be that far back.

That's cause you work for Slacko...... Anyway, I've told my boss what it is, and how it happened so it's irrelevant now.
