kiln shelf shape

We just bought 6 round 26" half shelves for our 28" 12 sided electric =
kiln.
How important is it that the shapes do not match up? I could cut the =
shelves
with my diamond saw but am unclear if this is really needed. I could see
that some parts would be a bit closer to the sides and may heat a bit =
more
but does this matter? I am not sure of what to call the shelf type, they =
are
not the cheapest but not the high end big dollar ones.

Thanks

Just use them, do not cut.
We have and use rounded and angled shelves for two 28" kilns.
No problems matching up shapes.
