I’m with Steve on this one. Mine is fitted to a 50mm diameter solid steel rod and is 100% solid and accurate , floats across the table with ease.

From time to time. In fact it's in the laundry basket at this very moment. I'm astonished that it still fits, TBH. Perhaps I've been a fat geezer for longer than I realised.
