Well, I found another use. I bought a replacement wheel for my Bridgestone on the rear, but the spacing was at 135mm and my frame is 126mm. I wasn't in the mood for cold setting, so I used the cutoff wheel to shorten the spacers by the appropriate amount and also shorten the axle. I used a fine grinding wheel to even out and smooth the edges of the spacers. It is now at 126mm spacing and fits great.
