I've faced head tubes with a hand file and a good square. Actually easy but time consuming and takes some focus. I worked the face a bout a quarter of it at a time. The body is placed on the face and the blade travels down the HT as the aligning edge. File the high spots and recheck. When you think you're done place a piece of emery cloth on the face and with a large washer or other flat block rotate the cloth to smoothen out the face. Recheck after the face shows sanding marks. Do all over as needed. Andy
