hanger facing tool?

There's an old thread somewhere I can't seem to locate that had some good pics of a cutting tool (similar to a bicycle headset facing cutter) to shorten and/or face hangers. Anyone remember the location or know what the tool is called?

For a little less than the price of two tape switches you could go to IR boxes that are waaaaaaay more durable, very reliable and if you've ever seen someone loose their rear end pumping over a tape switch you'll agree safer.

Good idea John. An even better one though is to take all that unridden gear and get it under the feet of newbies in your own area. The old dogs passing along gear, knowledge and their own stoke for the sport is what ultimately will keep the wheels rollin'.
