I wouldn't change something that was working. Too much trouble!

You didn't say what kind of problems you are having???

Depending on who's blades you use, tweak i.e. increase knife holder angle
to 11 - 12 degrees, particularly with Richard Allen's high profiles (Edge
Rite). We love these blades and not using them on a Microm either.  If you
have trouble with a blade in one way, take it out, turn it around, since
manufacturing can create small variations.

Good luck, happy holidays
