i had that bevel issue too... and for now i was too lazy to change the blade...hmmm... seems to me i was a fool...
and yep...stupid peeps... we could do much better without them... who knows we could already fly to the stars in big riveted starships if it weren´t for them...
Automatically Appended Next Post: Yeah Vik..The blade didn't seem dull, or bent, but changing it out for a fresh one really made a difference!- Still not perfect, but I tape 4-1mm rods together and cut them in batches.

true story bro!
ah yes... i see that this would make it a bit more straighter...also i have thought about making a guide for the blade...after all you don´t cut that thick stuff with it anyways... and how often do you really want to cut at angles anyway?

I used the 45 degree angles for the floor masters for Galorn, I'll definately be using that technique again!
It sure beats doing mass productin of parts all by hand though, you have to admit that!

yep...you are right on the not yelling for all part...^^
and yes...jim henson was a genius... if it wasn´t for him most kids wuldn´t know where front or backside is..or for that matter up and down
I saw MOST of the new Muppets movie...I had the kids, and they can be...let's say "distracting". I mean, I just wanted to watch the Muppets! Can't they settle down for 10 minutes!?!?!?!
Anyway, love the Swedish Chef! He was my inspiration to be a chef! I never made it though, for some reason, trying to cook a live chicken will get you kicked out of cooking school. Throwing wooden spoons at the teacher also didn't help.
My favortive muppet movie of all time though is the Dark Crystal! Love it! 'Salutamar!"
Dark crystal is awesome - you hardly see the strings at all - the skexies and the gelflings are fantastic- Now you've mentioned that I'm going to have to find it on DVD
They were innovaters in Remote Control by the point of The Dark Crystal! Their hands were moving in remote controls and the actual muppets were animatronic! Henson invented it and Disney learned from him!

Ok, so yesterday (12 pages ago I think ) I thought my beveled rivet problem was fixed by changing the blade on my Chop-it right?
I was wrong...
My misuse of the tool caused a large gouge in the particleboard base where the blade meets the board.
My crude illustration here shows that the blade chops down onto the plastic rod, which meets no resistance, and bends until the force from the blade slices through, thereby causing the beveled cuts in the Rivets!
My Solution....
I filled the gouge in the wood with Elmer's Wood Filler (wood putty).
And then I cut a strip of a flexible plastic kitchen cutting mat (the kind you chop your veggies on, then roll up the mat into a funnel to dump them into the skillet or pot.)
The results:
PERFECT RIVETS!!

*whew*! I am so glad that the problem has been resolved! I was actually up late last night worrying about the beveled rivet epidemic!
Not really, last night I actually went to bed early! Didn't help me though, youngest did not like her pureed green beens and had bad gass all night. I think I actually saw her diaper (nappy for you across the pond) expand after one particulary hard push! At least the rivets I put on her diaper/nappy held, and there was no leakage.
