how do you guys get a perfect circle when grinding with a dremel? I've got a dremel and I can't get past the fact that if I started grinding on my TB I KNOW it would have un-even gouges in it...

Dont mess with knife edging or filling the hole, does nothing for power on the dyno. Other than that just do what the write up walks you through.
