I just wish it was possible to quickly test-fit the middle to the bowl before packing the parts. I know that would slow down packaging, but it would prevent bad parts from being shipped.

Rather than fit testing two parts together (where the fit would fail if either was out-of-round, and then you'd still have to spend the time to figure out which one was wrong), why not a simple go/no-go test at the end of production, where each part was checked with a circular gauge of the appropriate diameter? Good parts could then go on to packaging, and bad ones could be set aside to be reworked.
