Myself, I would lap it flat on a large oily piece of 600 grit sandpaper on top of a granite table. You want to lessen or eliminate those tiny machine grooves left by flycutting, each one of them is a tiny scratch waiting to form into a crack when heat and stress are applied.

Take a large chocolate bar and on the smooth bottom, scribe a jagged scratch across it with your fingernail. It doesn't even have to be deep. Then, briskly snap the bar, and watch where it breaks. You'll get the idea.
