Green teeth

[chopper brown]

Just fitted some green teeth on my grinder and just wondered if the collets were ment to crack when tightening the lock nut on the individual teeth?

 

I only lightly tighten the nut on all and was then going to torque all of them to the 34nm after. Whilst doing this the odd one cracked and if I don't tighten them as much there was up and down movement of the tooth in the shaft.

 

I have made sure the bevel of the collect is down over but can't think of anything else other than me being a rough bugger!

 

Hope someone can give me some advice or a bollocking!

 

Cheers jim

As long as the taper is facing down and the seat is clean nothing really. You should be able to give them a fair tweet with a spanner, are they genuine?

Thanks for that.

 

Yes there direct from green teeth.co.uk.

 

I would say that I only gave them a nip up and then once I went past the tension point near enough all of them have cracked.

 

Thought it odd as when I go to turn them for a sharp edge the collecthas got a chance of falling out.
