Easy; since the "spindle" with the nubs is diecast, and the blades are
steel, the edge of the blades could easily wear into the fairly small
nubs. In fact, I seem to remember this very problem being reported here
(or was it on alt.home.repair?) for this tool.

I guess if it were me designing the thing, I would have bored holes in
the spindle and press-fitted steel pins there.

I think you're making a big thing out of the quality of a $35 power tool...
It works, the blades are cheap, the tool is cheap.. use it until it needs
replacing and spend another $35..

I got an HF MFT for that price, have used it 4 times now, and I'm
still finding things new and wondrous things to do with it.

I picked up the triangle rasp (carbide grit) this weekend but haven't
used it yet. I hope they last well.
