If there was this machine, that when you walked into it, it would copy you in every way (physical appearance, memories, emotions etc), but then deleted the "you" that walked into the machine, and let the copy out, would you walk in?

If you wouldn't, why not?

I was thinking how useful a perfectly cylindrical version of me would be.

yeah monkey_man, listen to insane bartender - what was you thinking?

Your logic is so flawed, it doesn't merit a proper response.

If I span round really fast whilst it was copying me, would it make a version of me that was completely cylindrical?

what if i moon walked into the machine?

sorry, ill stop now

It wouldn't be you though, it'd be a copy of you. For it to be you again, you'd have to be thinking for two people at one point - you and the copy of you (which, incidentally, is also you) then when you killed the old you, you'd be thinking.....for yourself.....again.

i made a boo boo

No I wouldn't. I'd be perfectly well, having been replicated by the machine.

i'd throw a spanner in whilst Insane Bartender walked through, no offense.

Unless he isn't bothered about the fact, which he doesn't seem to be :)
