I received the following reply from Micro Jig today. Guess we'll have to see if this works! :dontknow:
Hi Reggie,
Thank you for your support in our product - the GRR-Ripper® 3D Pushblock™ System. We are sorry that the Center Leg is being tight to adjust, this may cause by the contacting surfaces between the top edges of the Center Leg and the edges of the Main Body. There is a simple solution to this, please see the attached PDF slide and follow the simples steps shown and it should resolve this problem. Please forward this message to other NCWW members who have similar issue or have them to contact us.
Please do let us know if this does not solve the binding problem you may have. Again, we apologize the inconvenience may have caused.
Happy Woodworking!
Henry & Micro Jig
Your Micro Jig Support Team
OK, since I can't get the pdf to load, it's basically 4 slides that show using a utility knife to scrape 10,0000/inch from the rails of the center leg that contact the body. Then apply paraffin wax to the center leg and the body rail surfaces. If that doesn't work, scrape some more.
Do NOT use spray lubricant!
They say it should take two hands to adjust the center leg! :eusa_thin
Not what I was hoping for, but I'll give it a shot. (And by that I wasn't necessarily hoping for a replacement, but thought there might be a more plausible solution. In my mind, this constitutes a fine machining problem. What do YOU think? :icon_scra
If any of you who are having problems want to see the pdf slides, PM me your e mail and I'll forward the message to you.:wsmile:
