Absolutely nothing. Gild all you want, and never expect criticism from me. However, if you read this thread, you'll see that there are many who feel they must use a grinder to get housing ends perfectly square.

My post is for them. They don't need to feel it's necessary and can keep it simple if they want, or they can grind if they choose. When I say something isn't necessary, that's all I'm saying. I have no feelings one way or other about what people choose to do.
