Then if the core remains attached at the bottom (common with fresh pineapples versus those which sat for a week or so in your kitchen or bar) you again have to figure out a good way to cut or break off the core at the bottom without tearing a hole in the base. Or just leave 1/3 of the core at the bottom for safety... An easy trick to not cut too far into the pineapple is to put a rubber band around the corer and mark the spot where you'll need to stop turning. To cut the leftover core, use a sharp knife and make a cut on either side to form a V shape and you'll get the majority of it out.
