smaberry Report post Posted November 21, 2011 Hello, I've got a rex 26-188. I acquired it as it was being thrown away due to the previous owner knocking it over and breaking a part of the casting. So, I've fixed the casting problem and now I'm putting the thread tension springs back on (I had to take them off and throw them in a tumbler to get the rust off of them..yeah it was left outside for a couple of weeks before i got it. ) I don't remember which order thew go in and was wondering if anyone could either send a pic of theirs or post. here is how i suspect they go , but I'm not certain. from outside in - adjusting nut, conical thread tension spring, washer #1 (thread tension washer), washer #2. and on the smaller set above - e-clip, spring, washer, washer. like this: [ tension ] ((((( ))))))) } { [ adjusting ] (((spring))) } { [ nut ] ((((( ))))))) } { can anyone confirm? Also, if you have this machine, how do you liek it and whats the thickest material that you've run through it Thanks, Shane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
