LOL, rotary attachment is currently in Birmingham and finally got working tracking on the machine which is currently in Bremen, Germany.

So much for "UK Shipment, Portsmouth" :)

Oh well, one down, one to go....

The rotary attachment arrived today - totally wrecked as the chuck had broken the shaft that mounts it and was loose in the box, unusable and a complete waste - the box that should have held the chuck was in there so why was it fitted??

My thoughts were previous customer return item.

emailed supplier with a photo.

Oh dear, not good.
My rotary attachment is still bubble wrapped but mine is the simpler, cheaper unit with no chuck, just a set of stepper driven 3 rollers to hold a glass or bottle by friction.
Can't see it ever getting used.

I did see another one of the type you have on a forum somewhere, where the spindle had pulled out of the upright because the bearing was a loose fit but it looked an easy fix if you could get redress off the seller.

This would be an easy fix - re-weld the plate and true up on the lathe but that's not the point :)

See what they say in the morning.

Broken weld, if you call it a weld...


Put the chuck box in though, thats a nice touch...


Nice wiring....

JS probably saw my post here on Madmodder - see reply #23

Oh, and my cable outer also was stripped too far back to use the clamps like yours, but I found that by friction warming the outer by gripping with a cloth and sliding it, I could ease the outer far enough down the wires to get under the clamps (which are too large a diameter to grip, but a bit of the serrated end of a tywrap makes up the gap sufficiently !

Supplier reply - can i get it fixed locally and how much?

I guess £50 will cover it :) See what they say.
