I agree with Grump, I would stick it in my wood lathe chuck and spin it up and use a bastard file to square it up. Doesn't need to spin too fast and don't push down too hard, keep a constant pressure.


Otherwise I would put in the metal lathe and square it up. If you don't have one then I sure there is someone around you that will have one.
