alig Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hello all, I have an old Silca Rekord but the jaws don't hold small blanks without them tipping up. Anyone know if the Silca Plus jaws will fit straight on and if so, does anyone have a set for sale? Many thanks, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alig Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Have found out that the Rekord Plus jaws are not a direct replacement and that I will probably have to change the carriage to enable their fitment. Too expensive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayke Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 Are the keys tilting? A trick i learnt years ago was to use a union latch spring and cut the end of so its a long think rod and stick that into the profile of the blank this gives it more support and stops them from tilting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
