I always have to tighten the nut very carefully and check the concentricity before starting to true; it usually takes a few tries to get it straight
Thanks for the help, it looks like I have an older arbor then. I might just make due and then graduate to CRC's once I've gotten the hang of 1/12. I went with Jaco's because I heard they were less prone to cracking on impacts with the wall!!
