I’m not a production potter, and I loved using a GG when I took lessons and never had this problem
-
rubber stop/disk of sorts doesn’t help; I slow the wheel down slowly, I knew about the wheels tendency to stop too fast; I can center, tighten the GG and have it immediately off center, so frustrated; it doesn’t matter if it’s a cup or a 5 pound pot; same resulted

I am about to toss this thing through the window; I’m at a loss....I’ve had it about a year, have a shimpco whisper wheel.
its taking me 15 minutes minimum to trim a wine cup; I have a bat under the trimmer, there is over 1/8” of play once it’s tight to the pottery;
once I get something centered, it’s constantly knocked off center because the hands don’t grip tight enough? Out of 15 cups, I have 7 now that aren’t terrible but the doors are lopsided
anyone else have issues like this? I called the place I got it from, “too bad”; this was supposed to make life faster and easier; I HATE trimming on a piece of foam, but even that’s better?
any ideas?
Argh!! Giffin grip gripe, anyone else have issues?

I know how to use a GG; I don’t know if it is this specific one? Combo of the wheel (shimpco) and GG, or what. I’ve been successful on Brent wheel with GG, and I can trim on foam; I wanted to know if others had issues, and what they did to remedy......
