cs100 not pulling brash!

[Big T]

Hiya,

 

Just used my second hand cs100 for the first time, does a good job but it dosent pull anything in and I'm having to push the brash through with lots of vibration! Hoping it's just the blades that need sharpening!?

blades are blunt, new sharp ones and will pull the brash in a bit better

And make sure the anvil gap's spot on.

Cheers guys!

Sharpen the blades but make sure to get the angle correct as this is very important . Also make sure the anvil gap is the thickness of a credit card ; )

I had one of these and you REALLY DO need to keep the blades sharp. I changed mine the minute it started to not pull the stuff through - its bloody hard work when having to shove it through.

Cheers guys! Kinda new the blades needed sharpening but just nice to have some reassurance! Paul, I don't have a credit card, will my mensa membership card or beano club card do?

My GTS1300 Was the same , it came with a set of new blades and now I have to hold the brash back has it will choke it to death !

. Will prob get a new set of blades as its handy to have 2 and rotate them when a set is away to be sharpened!

 

Anyone know the best/cheapest place to get a set of blades for a cs100?

Mate, that sounds like incorrect angles on the blades. 2 sets is a must and I use Saturn knives. I always add an extra note with them specifying the exact angles.
