Careful. You’re assuming the base was square with the bore from the factory.
A crazy discovery the first time one finds it.

Had it on pistons as well. By about .002. Drove me nuts.

Ive found Stihl OEM jugs as far out as .009 at the edge of the base on the new wider bases.

I noticed that the case I cut was bell shaped from factory. Are huskies similar?

I never really measured it. I centered off the bearing bore and made it the diameter I wanted. Seems it took a pretty even cut the whole way around so they must be pretty true to shape.

I just used a fly cutter
A boring head, or fly cutter would work too. Lots of different ways.
Doesn’t really have to be machined, some guys do it by hand too. I like it nice and purdy though.
