I would say all of the above are correct with the major factors being the
first three. I run mine at high speed with no lube and it still cuts
pretty straight.
Often just a file cleans it up to my satisfaction. The pivot IS an
issue, though, and I can see a major mod in my future somewhere along
the line.
Yeah, even with the limited use I've given mine I can definitely see the
pivot being a problem in the future. I think some sort of bearing
arangement would help a lot.
But like everyone else here, I can't IMAGINE how I lived without one.
No kidding! It's mesmerizing just to watch it happily cutting away.
