CARBIDE GROOVE CLEANER
I needed a narrow grooving tool to quickly clean carbon from piston ring grooves, for an engine restoration project. All the usual grooving tools were too wide, however a carbide tipped circular saw blade was a perfect fit. Using an angle grinder, I quickly made a grooving tool from the circular saw blade. It also serves well as a lathe parting / cut-off tool.
