Question! Trimming question

Post image

This has recently started to happen to me while trimming, and at first I thought the problem was that I was not pushing hard enough or the wheel was too slow (which usually fixes this problem for me), but my usual fixes did not work. I managed to get it pretty even eventually by slowing the wheel down, but how can I avoid this from happening at all?

I’m curious what tool you were using to trim, but you also need to brace your arm and keep both hands touching the tool to steady it. Apply firm pressure.
