My machine (all brass) is so badly worn that matching the guide to the blade (and vice-versa) is not only impossible, but ridiculous! I guess that's why the cane is often "thrown" to one side or the other when gouging. The placques that hold back the cane and the spring-clips both wrecked the cylindrical shape of the guide over the years.
By keeping the shavings between 0.05 and 0.1mm, the problem is significantly minimized. The result is perfectly satisfactory for my own use.
Good thing I don't do this commercially! Sheeesss, to fix the problem, I had to take the machine apart to find holes in the bed worn-in by the alan screws over the years (making re-calibration impossible) and smooth them out by hand with a dremmel-tool!
To anyone interested, buy a NEW machine, and avoid soft metals! Save yourselves the headache, the extra price is worth it!
