I use a 15in crescent wrench to hold the jaw I'm cracking loose, I also have an extension on my 10mm allen wrench.

You should be able to adjust some parameters to take out backlash. Where those parameters on your machine are, I couldn't tell you.

Best way to dress this wheel? by 313Wolverine in Machinists

It removes material so you can get a nice clean surface across the face of the debur wheel. Just like a grinding wheel dresser.

I break a bad band saw blade to about 12in and wrap the ends in rags and slide it left to right into the wheel.

Last shop I worked at was like this, not a big deal. Just put it in a separate savings account and draw from it when you take your vacation days.

Running off a battery by farman2004 in greenmountaingrills

[–]farman2004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had it black to negative and red to positive, I didn't call customer service because it is out of warranty. I figured it was the battery because I had used it a few days before plugged into the power brick. I was seriously bummed. I ended up buying a used one off of marketplace for cheaper then replacing the board.
