Sorry pics posted twice.
I'm always looking for quicker cheaper ways to do things so I came up with this while working on an 880.
#1 use self drilling screw and washer to attach used ring to top of piston.
#2 cut ring flush with piston edge on both sides
#3 stick piston on a handle of some kind ( I just used a pair of channel lock pliers up side down in a vice )
#4 slide cylinder onto piston and rotate
#5 finish with sandpaper lightly
Easily removed .06 from squish band in little time.
Hope this helps someone out

Best budget innovative cutting mandrel of the year. Now you need to show us a way to cut the base with old parts.

If I just need to adjust squish a little bit by lowering the jug 5 thou or so, I'll just stick some DA sandpaper to the bench. Measure in all 4 corners first, then go to sanding on the base. Probly 5-10 min

What do the chips it removes look like?

Chips were very small, flat and triangle in shape.
I wouldn't use this method for deep cutting but for a few thou. it worked great

Sounds like a quick fix for a peppered squish band

Typo mayhaps ?
