When you say guide arms, do you mean the arms that hold the roller bearings? If so, mine don't look adjustable. They are cast iron and move up and down, but don't seem to have a rotational adjustment.

Depending which way the blade is cutting crooked, loosen the two
bolts on the guide arms and turn outward the opposite way that it
cuts crooked, repeat until straight. Mine will cut piston ring type
cuts all day in 3" pipe...Bob

Clint,
I've found that if I put too much downward pressure on the blade,
cutting
too fast, whether with weight added to the handle or fussing with
the spring
thing, I get an angled cut..............
FWIW
