I threaded a barrel for a future potential muzzle device and have a customer supplied thread protector for it. I needed to contour and polish the protector to the OD of the barrel. Before anyone asks, no, I did NOT thread the barrel in a 4-jaw, I used dual spiders for that; I just needed it to match the OD of the barrel which was about 16 thou out-of-round from the bore (most I've ever seen).
Anyway, the thread protector has a slot across the face that I assume if to tighten/torque the protector in place. What sort of tool is used for this? The customer doesn't have one and would like me to find one or make one. I don't know what sort of google terms to use to search, but I can't find anything like it in searches.
