I've heard some say pivoting the needle to the right a tad gets better results. Sometimes when I think mine are aligned correctly, I'll use a jeweler's eyepiece and find that I'm off and it needs to be adjusted. Usually, to the right for me but that depends on each individual's eyesight and perception. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
