Hi folk
About two weeks ago I received a Biax 8E Flaking scraper (FoC) with the front end stripped and the parts in a bag (there were also some 8EL parts too).
Today I printed the parts list and checked all the parts were there to re-assemble it (all were present apart from the front hand strap fitting).
All went together well other than the small ball bearing race (#5) had to have the stud screw (#7) pressed through it.
Mating the front nose cap (#1) to the body was straight forward. The motor spindle (#26) simply was lined up to go through the elongated slot in the stud screw (#7) and the two parted pushed and secured with three M5 nuts (the ball bearing race sits in a groove around the motor shaft).
Now just plug in and test ... the motor ran BUT I saw no real movement on the tool holder (#9) and it simply slides (freely) to and fro full length of the operating gap.
Not what I expected ... should it be free to slide freely like this??
