No sir. Not normal at all, in my experience. If you lay the cap on its dome and drop in a blade, there should no play in the blade when placed between the 4 posts. Drop the base plate, screw down the handle.

The WR2 is the simplest head to load that I've used.

Ok thank you very much. Then mine is off a bit because there is play when I lay the blade between the 4 posts. I can, eventually, get the blade to be straight but has to be done by eye.

I have never seen a WR2 that is difficult to load. The blade drops right in to the top cap
upside down and the base plate over that and then tighten the handle.

How much play? Pics?

If you are have alignment issues, I'd document with pics and get them off to Tara right away.

Yes the 4 post, first used by James in the BBS1 is brainless to load. If there play, something seriously amiss. Reach out to Wolfman ASAP
