housing does not
seat properly, or
shifts during use.

stretched.
Improper crown
being formed in
material.
Improper wheel selection. Use proper wheel combination. Make
sure lower wheel has appropriate
crown.

against workpiece.
Wheel housing not straight with frame
block.
Material unevenly stretched, not
being moved properly throu gh
wheels.
Edges of material being run through
wheels.
Too much crown: Contact surface on
lower wheel is too sm all.
Not enough crown: Contact surface
on lower wheel is too large.
Adjust housing while tightening knob,
until housing clears block and seats
properly against fram e.
Feed material evenly back and forth in
parallel motions, do not zigzag across
workpiece.
Avoid moving edge of material through
wheels.
Use different lower wheel with larger
flat surface.
Use different lower wheel with smaller
flat surface.
Cam lever works
improperly or feels
loose.
Parts are binding. Lubricate cam/housing contact areas.
Set screws loose. Tighten set screws. Make sure they
align with flats on cam lever shaft.
