IDK, but the Button head screws I think are a mistake for the Spur. If the screws for the spur were countersunk, they would align the gear perfectly to ensure it sits centered. To me it seems the Spur easily sits to one side ever so slightly with the current design, hence the seeming out of roundness. These things are manufactured using software that takes numerical input and it's nearly impossible to pump out so many units imprecisely. On top of that, modern machines have sensors built in that constantly monitors dimensions and any components found to be less than perfect are thrown into a recycle bin to be melted back down and put into production for future runs of that material.
