I hate recoil pad fitting. Just finished one for an 1100.
I do so few I will not buy the tool.
There is always great fear getting near that disk spinning like crazy.

That's nothing. The most hated job ever is changing the firing pins in a Savage Fox SXS.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
My most hated is dealing with the know it all who thinks he knows more and dosnt. Ive had several that asked what to do and then proceeded to tell me I was wrong. Most actual projects I can get behind and enjoy doing them to the best of my ability, but dealing with the wanna be is another story.
All I know is after my gunsmith fixed my H&R 999 he posted a notice that he would not work on H&R revolvers!

My most hated job as it pertains to small arms is making a bolt stop and then reassembling a nineteenth century S&W top break revolver in .32 S&W. Everything is tiny.
Best way I have found to do recoil pads is to freeze them before grinding. I have not done any of the super soft ones, but freezing works well with Pacmyars.

Yep the chicken house , in my youth I shoveled out a chicken house with tall top leather shoes with no socks . The skin peeled off my feat and I could not walk the next day. Probley made 10-20 bucks but I had to bleed for it. It's a lot of po in a chicken house , horse stable to.

I am having the same problem the an Iver Johnson .32, never again.
Try finding the Detent Ball for a Smith & Wesson Revolver sight on Shag Carpet.
one when they say all you have to do.
I've learned to always wrap the rear end of the buttstock with two layers of yellow masking tape, so that when the sanding disc starts to tear the outer layer, I can stop power sanding/grinding, and finish up the pad's final level via filing/sanding with the pad off of the stock.

Dealing with folks who think they know everything is really frustrating to those of us who do.
I can think of a lot of things that I hate more than doing a recoil pad job, but I have a pad grinding jig. I made mine. I improved the B square model. I wish you good luck in the future.
