A few days ago I asked a question about a (possibly?) incorrectly installed shower drain. The problem is that the shower drain strainer won't fit on top of the shower drain the way it was designed to -- the top of the drain seal (as well as that of the drain pipe) are too high, interfering with some bent "tabs" on the strainer.
The diagram below shows the problem installation:

I would not bother to trim it. But if you're interested, there is a special tool made just for the purpose. You'd have to ask at a plumbing supply house.
I suppose one could grind a bevel with a Dremel or the like. Jim
Thanks. Do you know what the tool is call?
Just found something called an internal PVC pipe cutter. I suppose that's the tool you had in mind.
