UFO seasoning and pad bedding

[SuffolkD@aol.com]

Chambfering the edges is what I thought he was referring to , but how can 
angling the ends of the pads make them fit into the "gap" better?  The center 
thickness would be the same.

I documented the process here:

a picture of Chambfer is here:

While most sites show more material removed I didn't see the need to reduce 
the swept area of the pad contact for 1/4 of the pads usable life or 
so........IMHO.
