Am I getting multiple mails or is it simply that David Waugh doesn't know how 
to use a listserv?

Subject: [Histonet] AO Blade holder



> I have a question regarding a AO disposable blade holder (Cat# 824). This

> 
> The blade is tightened with a lever on the right that rotates a d-shaped cam. 
> Two screws are used the set the tension that the cam places on the blade, 
> once set, the cam will tighten and loosen the blade. The back of the holder 
> is concave, and the front part convex, so that when tightened, the blade will 
> bow. I have not been able to find any documentation on how tight the blade 
> should be. It sounds like most holders have flat surfaces that clamp the 
> blade, which I would think would have very different tightness requirements. 
> Any ideas from someone who uses this type of holder on how the two screws
