Im curious as to how y'all cut squish band. If dome piston do you try to match the cylinder to the piston? Working on building a squish band cutter and trying to decide on using tool steel or a carbide insert, or custom make an insert

Now for domed pistons do you try to match the dome to what you're cutting or do you just do a flat cut?
