Yes, the servicing certainly seem to be quite high and that seems to be a bit of a pattern for Blakell Europlacer in gerneral. In the past they have indicated it was an area they might be prepared to be a bit flexible on by factoring in your usage, t

Not easy is it. However this forum is not exactly throbbing with activity and I think anything that encourages more people to use it is a good thing. That includes useful input from people selling tools, equipment & services we might use. Perhaps if

Yeah my issue with the CLM945 type single slot feeders used for parts over 6mm is they index forwards using a tiny servo attached to some gears that pull on the cover tape. A system that begs to fail, the tape can stretch, the gears can start grabbin
