Simes Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I'm having an ongoing issue with my Silca Lancer plus which is about 12-18 months old. For some reason there seems to be a very small sideways movement on the blade causing a nasty judder. Has anyone else had this problem? I am buying my cutters from SKS. Already returned one gold cutter and replaced it with an alternative standard cutter and still having the same problem. Any ideas or anyone else had the same issue?

grahamparker Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Side and face cutter and face only cutter. Have you tried using a Genuine Silca blade ?. Silcaltd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShoes Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Could you add a picture of your blade on your machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Shut today but will post picture tomorrow. Need a new one now so will order a genuine. This one is an SKS one. Think there was a slight improvement turning the nut around. There is just a very slight sideways movement now. Manageable but doesn't feel right to me.

SteelCityShoes Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Are you trying to cut sideways with it, or just forward and back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Back and forth. It is the cutter with the side and face cutters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveishin Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Another stupid question presumably you do have the washer between the blade and the nut ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Another stupid question presumably you do have the washer between the blade and the nut ? That thought did cross my mind, also is the fixing nut recessed on one side same as the Silca FO when using a 1.5mm blade ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simes Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 I don't know how but I seem to have resolved the issue. It seems pretty tight now. It may have been trying the nut the other way around? Not sure. Here is the blade in situ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Probably just swarf behind the cutter. I always give the post, washer and nut a good clean all round when changing blades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
