Gracey trimmer w/Giraud blade problem?

jonbearman

I live in new york state,how unfortunate !
I have ordered 2 of his blades and the radius is so big no matter how I set the blade up it cuts a knife edge. Last time I called I wanted to do 6br and .243 which have thin necks to begin with. When I set it up the uncut cases go to the bottom of the saw cut in the Giraud blade and can not cut a radius, it cuts a vee cut which doesn't work. I compared a large radius blade to a small and they look the same under my loupe. Any suggestions what I could be doing wrong or are both blades incorrect? Does Giraud sell 3 different radiuses or only 2 type's? Not slamming them just a bit frustrated as my .223 trimmer(Gracey) works perfectly with a Giraud insert type blade.
 
I do not have a camera that would focus down to illustrate the difference. But the cutting groove is over .010 thou wider and has no radius for trimming the case length hence the knife edge on each case with the 2 blades I have.
