Lack of lubrication between
non rotating mandrel and
chuck spindle
Grease mandrel through chuck.
Remove mandrel and lubricate.
Knife not cutting
through core towards
centre part of log
Knife Dull or mandrel flexing or
bowed.
Sharpen knife to ensure it slits
through the core cleanly. A knife
with a dull edge can tend to push
the core away rather than slit
through as the mandrel flexes at its
centre point.
Check mandrel for straightness.
