Just curious if anyone owns one and whether they have the same frustrations trying to adjust the pincussion/trapezoid etc? I've spent so many hours trying to just make a simple square. I'm thinking about adjusting it with a black&decker 18 volt firestorm reciprocating saw!!! What do you think? ... should I go table saw instead?

Used to spend a lot of time adjusting monitors for pincushion. Some of the other Techs thought it was hilarious to attach a bar magnet to the casing with tape (somewhere out of sight) then remove it after you'd finished, so you had to do it all over again.

There's no real easy answer to how to do it, it's just practice. Agree with you about the recipricating saw, my personal preference was for a blow torch (both for the nether regions of the comedian Techs, and for the monitor).

Keep with it, you'll get there, only advice I can give is be very gentle with adjustments.

Couldn't find a magnet, so I guess I'll go with the blowtorch adjustment. It seems getting one setting right throws another out of place but I'm getting closer with each fiery cut ... er .. I mean, push of the button. At least I'll know what to look for when choosing a new monitor!

Thanks for the Tool Time tip!
