: . . . Pain cutting a rolling bevel on a 1/4" piece of spagetti :)

I agree!

As Sir Isaac said in his landmark book, Principia Canoemania. . .
"When you break up the shape of a curve into smaller and smaller rectangles, as you reduce the thickness of each rectangle you approach an infintie number of infinitely thin rectangles. And darn it but they are hard to cut that thin."
(roughly translated from the original pig latin)
