Default arching shoes

Hi All,

I just received some new shoes for Missy. However, I put the shoes in there drums and they almost all rocked a bit-I expected that. So I used my feeler gauge to determine what needs to be ground off. Fortunately, not much needs to be ground off. They measured anywhere from .006 to .020. I figured anything under .010 I would just let wear in naturally. Is this a good route or should I just arch them all regardless of the gap?

My question is that I have the machine to arch the shoes but the shoes are bonded on. Will standard sleeves work. They are the red oxide type and not a grey type like wet sanding paper.

Mike
