Brilliant, thanks very much, l will try loosening the bolt tomorrow. Tim

HI Andrew Yes l just tried that but it tugs on the belt. Guess l will have to take the belt off. Any tips on that? Tim

Thanks for replying Andrew.I am going to add some photos to this thread. Kind Regards, Tim

Hi, l have a new skiving machine, a Sieck from Germany/Far East which is a Fortuna clone. I am just getting the hang of it but then it started making wobbly cuts. I have looked this up and the booklet suggests tightening two screws on the knife shaft, but it doesn't say how to lift the machine up from the front and tip it over to gain access. I guess l need to unhook the drive belt? But how to do this and which end of the belt? This is a new machine so l don't want to just dive in and ruin it. Any guidance greatfully appreciated. Thanks, Tim
