The "legs" do look a little short on that VAR. Glad to hear the Campy one works well as I just paid through the nose for one. I am attempting, still, to make one but that concave milling on the inside of the legs is a tough one. My little mill will barely handle it.
I wonder, could these tools be made out of aluminum rather than steel? Too soft? Perhaps. Thanks for that pic, Norsk. That's a nice looking tool.
