For the engineers amongst you.
Here is a handy device I have been wanting to make for quite a while, it comes in the form of a piston ring grinder for removing a precise amount of metal from the ends of a piston ring for ICE engine repairs.
You begin by placing a ring into the clamp and squaring it up to the diamond grinding wheel, then using the turntable you gently remove as much as is needed to get the gap between the ring whilst fitted inside the cyclinder bore to the manufacturers specifications, this allows enough gap when the engine has reached working temprature so it does nor seize whilst in motion.

Made in house from off the shelf metals and parts from other left over cut offs, here is the device in use below, here I remove exactly 3 thousands of an inch and check it afterwards.

Thanks for looking.
