    Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the toy. They mention that the nuts and bolts do not fit perfectly, and none of them fit smoothly. They also mention that one of the cones does not fit tightly and has a little wobbly. Customers also mention the machining is poor and the thread fit is inadequate. The posts are a bit tight and cumbersome to assemble, and the knurled nuts are too tight on their screws to be threaded by hand. However, some tolerances are tight, but they should be for balancing propellers.

    you have to rethread the rods they are not 8-32

    you have to rethread the rods they are not 8-32
    I sent the first one back because the 8-32 nuts and thumbscrews would not thread onto the threaded rods. Second order had the same problem. I checked all the nuts and thumb screws on a quality 8-32 threaded rod from my shop and they were fine. I pulled out the calipers and thread pitch gauge, the threaded shafts are indeed 32 pitch but the diameter of the threaded part of the rods where all 4.03mm. After rethreading them with the 8-32 die they were all perfectly 4.00mm and work fine. Do not attempt to just power the thumb screws on, the threads will just strip out, also if you use pliers or a vice to hold the rods make sure you wrap it with a paper towel or something because these are chrome plated and it will chip off very easy.for those complaining about the instructions saying to use pliers to insert the wedged base nuts, you have to use common sense and get a pair of curved jaw pliers...but due to the poor design the rods will be uneven but not much of a big deal.The mounting of the rollers is adequate and easy to level, the sheerness is fine since everything that will be mounted and balanced will be very light.overall not a bad product, should be priced lower at somewhere around $20 for the quality. the threading issue is a typical tooling issue with smaller companies that tend to stretch the life of their tools longer than they should to save money. Their die cutter for the 8-32 rod is clearly worn down and needs a fresh die...or the company they source the rod from.
