Hello,

Thanks to all who responded to my question. The solution, it seems was very
simple.

Several people reported similar experiences and issues with the specimen
clamp not fitting tightly and that I should clean the clamp or block. My
blocks are clean and I thought the clamp was too... but when I ran a set of
forceps along the inner, upper edge of the clamp a tiny blob of wax was
found. A test block cut normally.

I'm amazed a tiny piece of wax could cause so much  trouble!

Thanks to everyone who offered help.

Bye
