    Edger getting axis wrong - but just on one eye?

    Hey guys, hoping somebody can help me out with a technical problem. Our edger is screwing up the axis but only in one eye - the right comes out 10-15 degrees too high, but the left is bang on... I don't want to adjust axis for fear of throwing the other eye out of whack... anybody run into this before? What the heck do I do?

    You should be able to adjust the axis for each eye, and each material, depending on the edger you have. The manual should provide instructions on how to do it.

    I would also check the blocker. If the blocker is -3 and the edger is +3, one eye will null, the other will compound, giving the result that you are seeing.

    Yep. Usually appears to be in one eye first.
