My guess is they're making parts for furniture. Tapered spindle legs with cross-drilled holes for braces/stool foot rests, etc. Can't explain the octagonal (?) bit and the ring but I can envision furniture designs that might make use of same.

I agree with Marv - looked like furniture parts to me. That was an impressive pile of chips in the background of one video. Time to turn that into particle board for the next factory to turn into furniture.

Another set of these. Paintbrush handles?

It's curious that on the wide paint brush handle routing machine they are doing a conventional cut (cutter running against the rotation fo the tool).
You can even see the handle splinter on the outfeed end of one of the cuts.
The two-sided copy-shaper shown in the last video is climb-cutting both sides (one spindle is running in left hand rotation).
Having been a woodworking engineer for 20 years, I notice these things...
