CliveWard Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hi All, After sizing and trimming some new brass for the .308 last night I put them in the tumbler and left it running for a while. Came back after a few hours and it had packed up. Today I took the bottom off and found that one of the long bolts holding the motor on had come loose and dropped into the fan jamming it. Put the bolt back in, tightened the rest up too and it's good as new. Saved another trip to the gunshop. Cheers Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Lucky I suppose the vibrations they set up are enough to loosen any screw with time. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 A spot of loctite threadlock should stop it happening again. If nowt else use a spot of nail varnish ( doesn't have to be your own? ), assemble whilst wet and it will gum the threads. Sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
