No you are not an idiot!!!!!
If the washer is supposed to be oblong an idiot at the factory should have installed it properly.
However I do not think it is supposed to be oblong.
Call CS and get a replacement.

Don't rejoice until Shopsmith has sent you a part that works as it should AND is round.
Hmmm. The temporary fix is an oblong washer in a round hole

I'd sure like to see some photos of this defective washer and how it was originally installed.
