[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 351198, member: 2976"] Yep, the dop can be bent so slightly you can't easily see it by eye but still be well and truly enough to cause headaches. When I was first learning, I decided it was time to step up to something different to a round brilliant. I tried to get the trillion to work but I stuffed it up again and again - finally in a fit fit of frustrated rage, I took the dop out of the quill and hurled it against the tiled floor of the bathroom, breaking the stone :8 . I should have just thrown the dop itself but I kept it. Sometime later after conquering the issues with different shapes, I suddenly started having problems with stair-stepping - it took me a while to realize that it was the same dop I had thrown against the hard tiles.
