Although it seems obvious that you need to use a cone shaped abrasive stone to sharpen the inside of the ring, there is a “tit” inside the ring that is used to weld the ring to the shaft that will interfere with the stone. Any suggestions?

Not sure.. But as a old metal worker/welder/mechanic... IF!, and only if, the weld is good.. you should be able to grind the 'tit' flush with a hand grinding tool/stone. BE SURE NOT to go below the surface of the 'ring' metal. If you removed the 'tit' and the ring breaks off.. BAD WELD in my opinion.
I wonder if the tool was not properly finished at the factory?
Thanks for your tip. It looks as if the "tit" was used to set the ring and there is a weld around the outside perimeter so grinding it flush sounds like a the way to go.
