I need help. PLEASE!!
I've looked through older threads but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.
I bought an Excalabur EX-21 about 3 months ago as an upgrade from my 788.
It seemed to have slightly more vibration than I saw expecting but better than my 788 so I was happy.
Well it has slowly gotten worse. Now I can't go above 1/2 speed without the plastic tension lever jumping up ruining the blade. I've tried different tensions etc but -- no go. It will sometimes even do it at full speed just running - not cutting. Guess that takes care of feed rates etc.
I did find one thing to try, it said to tighten one bolt at the back, haven't yet as I need to go buy an 8mm open end wrench and bend it to get at the nut in the back. In that thread it said lifting the upper arm eliminated the vibration. I tried and it reduces it some but not a lot.
Thanks a lot for any help !
