Quite simply, if you are making a tube-shaped pasta, you are likely getting one good noodle per cut (good meaning open on both ends).  The wire drags across the plate, essentially sealing one end of the tube.  The noodle that is open on both ends is the one closest to the wire.  I tried adding flour to the included recipe, flouring the ball before tossing it in the hopper, slow cut, fast cut, flouring the wire between cuts.  I can not be the only person having this issue, yet I can not find a trouble shoot.  Is there a trouble shoot for this issue?
