Acoustic Guitar Construction

This post is old, I know, but since it's still unanswered, I figured I'd throw in my $0.02: I have the same sander and experienced the same problem until I started really cranking down on the nut that screws in on top of the spindle.

Ok, you guys have sold me on the binding system... now I just have to find someone else who currently has one for sale, since Ken has taken a break from producing them!
