Does anyone who has a Speed-mat have this problem and if so, how did you fix it? I just bought a used Esterly Speed-mat 3240. The sizer bar bar is bowed outwards in the middle by about ⅛" causing me not to be able to make cuts correctly. The cuts at the top and bottom go through but the cut in the middle doesn't cut through. I even used an 8-ply backer board to see if just extending the blade would help. Nope. The cut misses the 8-ply backer in the middle altogether and cuts through the 8ply on the top and bottom. When putting a straight edge along the sizer bar front the bow is quite evident.
