JME1979 Report post Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I just purchased a new boss from a private owner. The boss was brand new in box, never taken out. All its parts were still in orginial packaging. Anyhow I set it all up and it stitches nice only as I bring the handle back up it is very rough and I can see why. When the needle thread is brought around it gets caught on the side of the bobbin case, and seems to get stuck just below the top corner of it. Causing me to force it back up. Is this normal? If not how can I fix this problem. Heres a photo of where it gets caught. Edited March 27, 2013 by JME1979 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted March 27, 2013 No, it is NOT normal. I just had a look at mine, and if there's ANY tension on the thread (you are holding the threads for a few stitches when you get started, right?), the thread should glide right off the bobbin. Look for a small burr in the area it's hanging up. It you find one, you should be able to either file it out ( then re-polish) or contact tippmann for a replacement.

Dwight Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Go onto the Tippmann website, . . . leave an email there with the picture, . . . tell them you need Ben to look at it. The guy is a wizard with these machines. I've personally taken mine to him twice, . . . in and out in an hour both times, . . . once at $0.00, . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JME1979 Report post Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for that info. I did get the issue fixed. But I got an artisan instead. Wifey said I could. So now I will try to sell the Tippmann. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
