Hi,

Flat grinding is not a critical thing.   They do not have to be very deep 
either:

Some motors have bearings that move when you take it apart but they force 
back into place as needed.  File to fit, paint to match, hammer to perfect ;-))

I still worry that a fan motor may not have enough torque.  But maybe for 
that tungsten rod configuration...

Cheers,

         Terry
