The Japanese-made Morizumi spoke cutting and threading machine is a great tool and one that I couldn’t live without.

I have found that when taking small (less than 1/2mm) cuts that the spoke ends can jam the shear and stop the spring from returning correctly. Luckily the Morizumi is such a well thought-out design that the shear is easy to dismantle and clean.

In the photos you can see the silver steel shear and the small spoke ends which have caused it to jam.
