Bingo.

Allows you to turn both sides parallel. You skim one side with the tool then change tools to skim the other side.

In the past I have just turned the disk around and then used the dial gauge to get it parallel. Time consuming but effective. It's little jigga saves me heaps of time.

It appears you machine one side then undo the lock swing the jig around and machine the other side of the rotor.

A mate has a nice little tool with both a left and right cutter and a dial to set the distance between them - it does both sides at once.
