Dremel burnishers not shipping straight?

[Dun]

I’ve now bought 2 different burnishers, one from amazon and another from a well recommended site mentioned here, and both have been shipped with enough of a bend that the dremel gives it a big wobble

the regular dremel bits work fine and stay true. 

Before I email and ask for a replacement, can this be fixed with home tools?

 

at this point I’d be very willing to pay for some extra shipping costs to insure some proper packaging keeps things straight.

It doesn't sound like a packing - in delivery, damage to me but a manufacturing problem. Even tho you say they are 2 different burnishers; if they are the same type and look its possible they came from the same factory

It sounds like the drive shaft is not mounted into the burnisher correctly and true. You might be able to take the shaft out and refit it after true-ing up the mounting hole. Without an image of the burnisher I/we can only guess at a fix for it.

Do you have a deemed bit ad large in diameter and length to rule out its not the dremel shaft/arbor?

It could be that, I don’t have anything bit wise that is also near 3” long for a test at the moment. Maybe I should take the bit to rockler and see if I can test it on their dremels

The employees at rockler didn’t even stick it in a dremel before they said they could see an alignment issue. I hope I can get this replaced. This was technically the first time I splurged on a leather tool instead of just settling for the cheapest option out there
