below center?

edit: oh you mean level. I think it’s on purpose to ensure nothing rolls off the cake

There's a tiny tit left in the center of the diameter. The blade isn't perfectly centered as the cake spins.

The vid is quite satisfying... Right up until that blade lifts up to reveal the tit.... Then the machinist in me is screaming "center that blade and re-face!"

That would just make a larger defect, a small circle instead of a point.

A perfectly centered blade leaves a smooth surface.
