Guest jamesstratton Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Anyone have any idea on where to get one of the wheels on the trimmer for the 700 finisher that takes years to wear out? The only way I can describe them is they are like a stone in place of the bottom wheel which lasts years, unlike the modern spira band things.

petercoulson Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Think you are asking about the diamond dressed wheel, bit like having a tungsten scouring wheel. We do not stock them but may be able to get them. Its the one on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 what differnce does it make where you work, this is just the sort of topic that broadens the mind. I didn't know you get such a wheel! Peter PM me the price. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesstratton Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 whats the problem with working for Timpson sorry chap, i thought this was you "outing" me as the enemy one of our shops has had a new mini band fitted and the bands aren't lasting very long, we were talking about one of our other shops that has one of the diamond wheels and we worked out it must have been on there at least 8 years without being changed and still works really well. the shop its in has easily been doing over £1200 a week on repairs over those years so thought it could save us a lot of money but no-one knew where it came from. I knew one of you would know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew one of you would know. You are not enemy, thats a bit unfair to think that I will look into the wheel and sure I can pm the price but it might be just as easy to publish it as it wont be a secret. I will find out as much as I can and come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 sorry chap, i thought this was you "outing" me as the enemy you've been looking at to many pictures of that bloke with the naff head mask on in TWN! Your in risk of becoming a "drongo" sucking in the corporate spiel & thinking like that!You ain't the "enemy" Timpsons individual shops are most independents competitor, I wouldn't give to much help to any "competitor" locally to me, independent or part of a chain (unless they where paying me off course) On this site we are all a load of Cobblers! united by the desire to gain some knowledge that will ultimately strengthen the whole industry. each gaining credibility on there own merits not those of the company they work for Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petercoulson Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 The heel trimmer on most machines is tungsten, the stone we are talking of replaces the mini band, it was popular in europe because it takes away a lot of the noise from the trimmer section.
