The blade is NOT suppose to be sharp Brent,
sharp blade actually IS THE CAUSE of a blade wonder (across yo' preshs
tracks)

Ryan , there is very little surface pressure generated with correctly set
cab tool , as you presumed .
Just make sure blades just nicely wedge in , that way they self align on run
and don't bite sideways.
the wedging pressure you have to play with before yo get it right

Ryan,
99% of our problems with the "pizza cutter" come from lack of maintenance.
If the blade is not sharp, alignment of blade to rail, no enough pressure,
etc...If these are not kept up, people will begin to bend the boards to get
them to separate.

Hey all-

        In an earlier thread, there was some discussion that separating
v-scored
boards can cause bending stress that my crack ceramic capacitors that are
too close to the board edge.  If the boards are separated with a "pizza
cutter" style separator, and the blades are perpendicular, where does this
stress come from?  My thinking is that if the pressure is straight down onto
the lower blade, how is board bending created?
