Hello all..I am new here since last week..very interesting forum..alot of stuff for the rookies and pros..I have a question about the tube chuck on this machine,,some tubes fit awfully tight ..a way of correcting this would be a big help..I know a couple ways but some input would be great..by the way even tubes from bicknee arent fitting easy...thanks..pipster... :? :?: :

Iw.as thinking of reaming it a bit or hacksaw and making it a quick change..pipster :idea:

oh shit I forgot to ask you are you using SS tubes or Disp. ? Sorry I was in a daze.

I had a problem like that with one of my machines , I took a flat head screwdriver, and stuck it in between the vice (where they seperate) and twisted it slightly (the screwdriver) to open it a fraction more, But this only helps if if u have the same kind of clutch (tightens on the side rather than on the front)

HELLO again I am using stainless tubes..also I did pry with a screw driver and that seemed to help alot...I dont care for the disposable tubes that much..A matter of preference I guess..in a jam I,m sure I would use the disposables....pipster........
