    Default Hafco Thicknesser cut height slipping

    Hi folks

    I've recently purchased a Hafco T-380A 15 inch thicknesser. Due to limited space in the garage it is mounted on mobile trolley. I have been running some hardwood floorboards through it and have found that the height adjustment locks are not holding. I've spoken to the supplier and they apparently haven't struck this problem before. The only thing we could come up with was too much vibration. Does anyone have any thoughts on a troubleshooting regime to try to eliminate this problem?

    Thanks
    Michael

    I'm sure there was a post about this a while ago but I couldn't find it. Something about a ball bearing in the locking arm/winder or something.
    I may have imagined it or am getting it confused with an entirely different machine but someone may know.
    Those were the droids I was looking for.
