Mine are all out of square. Maybe they've improved them. That would
be awesome.
FWIW, if you ask Jet about that, they'll tell you is so they bend
"into square" under pressure.
I don't know that's a bull**** answer to cover a faulty product or
not. But that's what they say.

Nice pencil sharpener!



Imagine a trapezoid. If your clamps toe in, so the bar is the long side
of the trapezoid, the clamps will have their greatest pressure at the top
of the clamp. That will reduce the chance of the clamp squeezing things
out or slipping as pressure applies. Now if the bar is the short size of
the clamp, the clamp will tend to squeeze things out as pressure is
applied.

They will bend towards square, but the actual angle will be limited by
your work.
