You do it your way I'll do it mine. I wouldn't belt sand anything like that to get it flat.

You could use a belt sander, a file, the cement driveway....****, pour some ketchup on it and have some fat chit naw on it till its flat...lol.... whatever it takes to get flat. If a straight edge says its flat then it is...

a belt sander can make it flat... but it would be pretty hard to keep it square when doing so.

The people that make the flanges for many shops in Houston area and nationwide put all of them on a big belt sander before going out and never have a problem! lol. It's not a big deal
