[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 607174, member: 1916"] The dop on this machine has a keyed pin but the transfer jig that came with it was designed for a beveled end dop. As you do, you search through your box of transfer jigs and select one that you think will work and do the best you can. I knew I would have to cheat the stone around a bit to make up for some transfer inaccuracies but the darn thing was just at the limit of the robilts cheater range, so I had to soften the wax and rotate slightly which also put it off square and centre. And of course, once this happens, getting everything to meet, takes 10x as long due to having to adjust every facet. Disaster is probably a term that is a little over dramatic, as once you learn the cause and effect, resolution is just another process to navigate. My goal was to get to know how the machine worked, so the objective was achieved in a single stone and I was delighted with the outcome as well. [/QUOTE]
