    Eagle Guide Rod Length

    My guide rod is a smidge to long to rotate the bushing. Is this by design? It means I have to have the paper clip thingy to take it apart.

    Yes, that is by design. That's why they made provision for the paper clip thingie.

    Shortened it 0.010" with a sanding disk. No more paper clip thingy. Bad design.
