    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I find this problem minor and not enough to offset the many other advantages


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A couple of other reviewers have noted that the fine adjustment on the fixed base does not work properly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Of course i havent seen the particular units they complained about but i have noticed something they might have overlooked
