Des804 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I bought a Tandy Adjustable ground and I tried to unscrew the top so I could adjust it to make a piece that I am actually cutting all by hand and it not only broke the micro screwdriver I was using but it completely shaved the inside so that another attempt would be impossible. Has anyone else had this problem I plan on returning the piece tomorrow in hopes that he will allow me to replace it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't used it for probably 25 or so years. Stripped the screw inside. Now I have the tandy groover that doesn't have the screw inside- it's the one that you tighten with your fingers. And yes, they should take it back with no problem. BTW, Tandy does carry a freehand groover that you hold like a pencil (-if that is what you're needing...). russ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Twosons Report post Posted March 1, 2009 My groover was tight like that as well. I had to add a drop of Kroil and let it soak overnight so that I could adjust it. It turns smooth now. https://secure.concentric.com/kanolabs.com/kanopnlu.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
