edit to ad: A 50cc tube of permatex 51813 was $13 at NAPA.
Haven't popped the tube yet to see what it's like.
First use will likely be the base of a pb-500 echo blower though.

Brad,

I am somewhat prone to slightly exaggerating how I do things when speaking on the internet. I had a little machinist training back when the world was young and have done a lot of very close tolerance hand fitting when high performance gunsmithing and building circle track engines. How I actually trued the face after seeing that I couldn't use a heavy piece of glass as a flat surface, sandpaper of various grits, then lapping compound due to the cylinder extending below the base, was to use files and a machinist's square for a straight edge. The straight edge revealed the sides were pretty nicely flat but both the intake port side and exhaust side bulged in the middle. I ground safety sides on a plain ten inch mill bastard file to rough cut using the straight edge and a sharpie in place of Prussian blue to guide me. When I got close I broke out a very fine toothed, very stiff gunsmithing file for final truing of all four sides. I did start off by measuring everything with a dial indicator too.

Well crap! I was hopping for something along the lines of pounding one tooth of a saw blade over and hanging it on the radial saw with the head rolled over
then you ran it like a flycutter.
With bonus points for the macrame job on the bar clamps and "C" jaw visegrips
for a temporary jug fixture.
Hmm, I suppose an old can of wood putty could be pressed into service
as a stand in for some Devcon to support it also.

oh heck the spigot is a hitch here.
alrighty! stick a wooden dowel in the bore and clamp a notched block
on the table saw.
Now slap the aforementioned one-tooth-wonder-blade on the table saw
and just bring it up to a RCH shy of the spigot and then spin the dowel
in that groove to turn the cylinder and face it slick.

Mercy sakes, being broke sure brings up the creativity factor in fellow huh.

and yes I was amongst the folks wanting to see a half clogged wheel
on the side grinder too.
