If your Carat Tools cutting blade shows side and radial run-out, this could be due to several reasons. The cutting blade may be bent or damaged, in which case you should have it straightened, solder the segments to a new blade, or use a new blade. Another cause could be a polluted or damaged flange; try cleaning or replacing the flange. Finally, the motor shaft might be bent, requiring you to replace the electric motor.
