Special tool KD-870


 We were visiting  our friends at our local engine rebuilding shop, TDC Engines, and saw this tool clamped to the corner of a work bench. Its use wasn't immediately apparent to me but it is a grinding wheel for removing material while setting the end gap of rings. 
Of course there would be a tool for that! 
Apparently there is also an electric version, which  might be a just a little aggressive in removing the few thou usually required.

    I've used this manual version, and even then it's prudent to only turn the handle once before checking your progress...
