So your twisting my arm eh? ;)  I don't see how this will help.  when
I get a new blade it starts out perpendicular to the surface and gradually
becomes biased one way.  Then you want me to twist the arm so it's perpen-
dicular again and then when I get a new blade twist it back?

Dazed and confused,
