Just thread the end knurled cap inward more - it will push the bar so the cooler has more threads to capture before it gets snug when applying the lever. it’s a pretty tight tolerance between the

Ok, that’s not it then… You should have plenty of thread engagement, not sure what is off.

Hi John, I have the standard threaded spindle. John

Which spindle do you have? The drawbar for a L00 spindle needs to be longer than for the standard spindle. If you have the L00, measure what you have and I can compare it to mine. Regards John

Hi, I have a new to me 10l with a lever type collet closer. Is there any information in the files on how to use or adjust this? I ask because the drawbar does not seem to be long enough. With a collet

I have a Swiss Habasit flat belt that I bought from a local power transmission store. They cut it to my spec and tapered the ends, I glued it in place and no problems for over 20yrs...OH and not a

For my 9C I took a deep breath... Then I removed the spindle and installed a serpentine belt without cutting it. The bearings were probably due for an inspection, anyway. (LOL) Everything looked good

I used a serpentine belt. Laced together with mig wire. That was 10 years ago and it still works. When I jam the parting tool in the work it squeals horribly. I think a couple of the mig wire
