Not sure if this is old news to everyone or even if this method would be considered acceptable by anyone else. I have just recently found these sanding attachments super cheap at Harbor Frieght. Not a big fan of 99% of the tools they sell but in this instance it has helped me tremendously.
I'll start by saying that most if not all of the saws I usually mess with are in the 70cc to 80cc range and of course most generally use a roughly 50mm to 56mm bore.
I have tried using the aluminum slugs before with a piece of saw blade as a cutter out of the top and spinning the cylinder on the cutter which is chucked in the vice.
I've tried the old piston method also. Sticking sand paper on it and it usually lasts about 25 rotation before my sand paper is trash.
This took me about 10 minutes....I know it's not perfect obviously as if I had a lathe but it's a lot better then any other method I've used before.
Another positive thing about this little $6 tool is I'm able to get it to check up in my handpiece.
Wish I would have know about this kit months ago. Fits PERFECTLY into a 52mm bore cylinder.
Hopefully this will save someone some time also.
