Re: Uneven cut

Be sure to check all couplers between the motors and the drive screws. The setscrews can become loose. Plus, if the setscrew is not tightened against the flats of the motors and the drive screws there can be intermittent slipping. So, even if a setscrew appears to be tight, it may only be tightened ...
