The planchette doesn't move very smoothly, will the spirit still be able to move it?

No.its too Heavy..Alter the planchette or buy a lighter one that will move freely

It does have a bit of a texture on the board but nothing distinct enough to keep it from moving. Just keep your fingers light and your wrist up so there is not so much weight pressing down and it should glide as smoothly as needed.

I know this question has been here since 2013, however, what are some ways I can alter the planchette to help it move smoothly? (I usually do this with the wife only) Will removing the cloth pads on the bottom corners help?

NO. Not at all. It is the dirt filling the void area that gives it form. To move this, you would need to remove dirt. You MAY be able to put it on some sort of movable platform that would enable you to move as needed.

It will move around and that's by design given it sits on a ball point. The only way for it to fall off is by force. You may have gotten a defective unit. I'd return it and try another one if you want. Just make sure you carefully take it out of the package especially the part with the tipHope this helps.

The pendulum movement seems limited by it's housing in either position and has not been a problem, but no, it does not lock completely.

Ok ! I will try to answer your question. Does it move a lot yes it move a lot this figure is pretty good.

Absolutely not! I move it all the time. It's awesome and won't damage anything

I just looked at our lamp. I don't think so. From the pictures it looks like it might. Of course there is a degree of movement as the arm is flexible.

The planchett lights up.(cant spell)Makes it really heavy and hard to move.

It is very light weight but I do not have a problem with it moving around. I have it sitting near my PC to help keep it cool. You might want to return yours I do not have any of those problems with mine, however keep in mind that it is mostly light weight plastic so there will be slight vibration but it should not be strong enough to make the whole unite move.

Mine must have been flawed because I never got it together well enough to use it. I worked on it for days. I'm pretty handy and just couldn't make it work. I liked the way it looked but it swayed and rattled and I felt it was dangerous. I finally returned it. it is really pretty though.

Not at all unless you consider screwing the little legs on! :) my wife and I absolutely enjoy this piece in the living room, the youngest grandchild thinks we bury treasure in it!

Mine didn't move until the board was completely aired up! I was a little nervous to continue to pump it!! But it does start to work the more air you have in the board!

If you gently move it, it'll stay together for the most part. But because it's put together like a puzzle, it does come apart fairly easily.

I don't know of any actual motioning...mine doesn't move, just beautiful lit up.

It would be moderately difficult. You would have to take it partially apart to move. Not impossible,just a little time and effort.

Possibly with a very steady hand or if the gem is on a flat surface. I discarded the one I bought and bought a very high powered Jeweler's loupe. Good luck.

It's kinda thick to.the point were it can't budge unless you move the pendant yourself but make sure to buy a small strong one it did snap easily in fact the first day I got it and it's hard to replace it in my experience but shouldn't be for you bye (=^.^=)
