Hi,

 

Does anyone know how to retention the feed roller spring as the roller seems to slip on smaller stuff, is it the two nuts at the bottom of the machine?? If I adjust it can I do any harm, can it be over tightened?

 

 

Thanks in advance for advice.

What machine is it, slipping on small stuff could be because the roller is blunt

Sounds like blunt rollers or snapped top roller spring.

I would swing the top roller up and give it a tickle with an angle grinder that will help. if the spring tension is too tight then you struggle to get larger diameter stuff through the rollers.

Blunt rollers, one of those little dremmel mini grinders works a treat.

An essential for the bottom roller.

Or take it out and "stellite" (other hard facing products are available) weld the corner back, its a bit more work but its a job you would only need to do once

Sorry to hijack this thread, but same machine, what's this to the right? (Little brass screw/valve?)

You have nailed it in one, its a valve with a little brass screw in it

 

To be more accurate its the solenoid actuator for the hydraulic valve.

 

Its the business end of the stress management and any in feed emergency stop

Thanks Andy,

What's it do? Or how's it work?
