Bearing assembly falls off shaft.
1 Star
Bearing assembly falls off shaft.
When I first received this center it appeared to be a very solid, versatile set up but after about 5 or 6 uses it appears the shaft was actually held in place with grease. When I pulled the tailstock away from my turning the bearing assembly fell off on the floor. I've only had it for 4 months so its well within the warranty period but I'm having no luck getting in touch with teknatool to have the assembly replaced.

NOVA 5015 Live Center System with Stepped Cone.....I was very impressed by a you tube video introducing all the features of this set. 3 bearings instead of the usual 1 or 2 was what sold me. Excellent quality. The set I received was brand new in a sealed box so no complaints there. Highly recommended.
