Hey Booner, if you've got a belt sander it's fairly simple to make a grinding jig that will get you the same angle on both sides of the ferrule. The trick is to make the slot in the ferrule perpendicular to the shaft. I've got a jig for this as well. I like jigs. If you've got a Dremel Tool you can buy a router base for it for $30 or so. That base can be used to make a jig with a tip that will cut a slot in your adapter that is perpendicular. I've made all of my homemade heads with glue-on tips, but I'm sure it would work with a screw in adapter as well.
