Does the rotating mechanism work well for most others? I can't seem to notice it no matter how hard I try.

The mechanism works everytime you lift the pencil of the paper. If you write in cursive, you will not notice if as much. I suggest you tap it on your finger to get a feel for how it works.

While I like the pencil very much, I can't say I've noticed the "rotating" lead feature. But that may be the ingeniousness of it, right?

The scroll wheel has a number of functions: 1. Rotate wheel to scroll up-down - works fine 2. Moving the wheel left/right (clicks left/right) to scroll left/right - works fine 3. Pressing down (click down) - this is the tricky operation because if you don't press directly downwards there is a good chance you will inadvertently activate the left/right scroll feature. The required down force is also somewhat more than the needed for the other buttons. I think that this is the nature of this mouse.

No, it doesn't spin or rotate, you have to do that with your hand motions but I have found that is better for me, spin ones sometimes get caught and pull my hair, again that is just me, I have pretty long hair.

I wish I could help you..don't recall having that problem! Carefully examine the buttons that you depress to rotate it. But I'm at a loss as to the screw.

Yes it is really a great machine. You may want to consider getting a rotational tip.

Mine didnt work at all , i didn't check it when i got it. I could almost hold it from spining with my hands

Took me awhile to realize this, but it rotates. I set it about where I wanted it before installation and then adjusted it a couple clicks after installation. I used my finger in place of the handhold to prevent scratches but that may not work if tighter than mine.

Great question Aaron, and the answer is no it does not. It twists (rolls) one way minorly, then the other, but at no time was it ever problematic nor could it be as it immediately straightens whenever any minor twist does occur. I had never even thought that twist could be a concern, and I can assure you it isn't, but you've obviously given this more thought than I. You can trust me when I say this is the greatest invention of our time (okay, a little exaggeration) and swivels are not required; just one less thing to go wrong.

I just got mine, so I'm hoping it works itself out ... but while it is very smooth during the motion, it is NOT smooth at all from a dead still start. It always jerks if the head has been setting for more than 5 or so seconds ... no matter how loose the screws.

Mine does pivot, but I've been having trouble keeping it unlocked! I'll have it set on rotate but then after awhile itlocks again! Its kind of frustrating...

Yes, it does flip around. I haven't used it in that manner so the concerns that the other users have voiced probably would apply, if that's the way you plan to use it most of the time.

You have to spin it yourself. It's a basic banding wheel. While mine needed a bit of grease, otherwise, it spins very smoothly and very evenly.

I had a similar problem at first with the 9595, and the manual is useless when it comes to this issue. I followed one cardinal rule of dealing with any sensitive or expensive adjustment mechanism: never apply excessive force. After fiddling around with trying the lock slide in various positions I found that when you tilt the head all the way in one direction (counter-intuitive, eh? I thought at first it should be aligned as straight as possible) the lock slide works effortlessly and effectively. You might want to try it a couple more times if you haven't returned it yet.

When the Rotadent is working, I think its rotary head function is superior to others i have used. If you need service, forget about it.

Yes, it rotates continually beyond 360% without a hard-set stopping point. It is quite easy to rotate. No clicking. A solid cable approaching "industrial strength". I'm getting more when I use up the 2 3-packs I bought. Really handy for behind beds or large furniture that blocks access to a wall plug, and without a pre-set angle that is sometimes on the wrong side.

I don't think that's normal. Mine does spin for awhile, but only until it gets to slot 1. I'm not sure why yours is malfunctioning, but you should probably contact the manufacturer and/or seller. Hope that helps.

It's a free-spinning scroll wheel but be prepared because it does have some recoil to it. For example, if you touch it gently it may sometimes scroll back upwards again. I used to think it was just mine being defective but I have read forums that say it's a common issue.
