The key issue here is always the clearance between the top cap and the spacers; the Survival Guide has a rule of thumb on the maximum allowable gap twixt and between. ?
You were lucky as welding the cutterhead on can be fatal to both the spindle & cutter. ?I have been similarly lucky a couple of times over the years! ?

Thanks for the comments. ?I was able to get the cutter off the shaft with a little persuasion, no damage to the shaft or cutter head. ?It¡¯s possible it would have been much worse with continued use, looks like I dodged a bullet on that one. ?I didn¡¯t notice the cutter spinning on the shaft when cutting, but I¡¯ll be more diligent in the future when tightening down the cutter heads. ?
I found the 9v battery for the remote switch, it was dead. ?I remember reading about it in the manual, I guess I had a brain fart and forgot about it. ? Thanks for reminding me, and thanks for all the help and comments.
