Howard,
I'm not sure I'd use a kitchen scale for this - just because it displays grammes doesn't mean it is accurate at that resolution.
You can get nice little digital jewellers' scales off eBay for a tenner or so.
As for how much variation you want to allow it depends how patient you are - I think I'd be aiming for no more than a gramme.
But in the light of your third question, I would rather accept a tad of imbalance than take metal off somewhere it really should not be taken off of.
Where is a question I'll leave to others, but wherever you remove metal do so smoothly & try to avoid making any 'nicks'.
