    I don't know how skilled you are with wood but if it was me, I'd just salvage the original band and shorten the shank. You'd need some equipment of course to put the mortise back in but that's what I'd do. A filter wouldn't fit anymore but I don't use filters anyway.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    They cut away the jagged piece, then fit a band around the new, smooth cut area. They really don't salvage what you have, they repair it by cutting and refitting. It isn't too spendy.

    What Zurg said. Same process I basically said above, but DIY.
