Metcal handpiece
Greetings!
My MX500 handpiece went open in the handle. Does anybody know how to take it apart? -- Boris --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |

You bite the bullet and buy a new one. There's a new one on eBay for $77 or you can go to Mouser for $104.25. I use my Metcal quite a bit and am still on the same handpiece for 15 years but I do have a shiny new handpiece "just in case". Also, my Metcal was bought used on eBay. G² |

G² Actually I just managed to take it apart. I applied compressed air to the tip entrance and the guts popped out like a champagne cork. I'll have to remember that, for the next plastic superglue/welded box I come across |

I'll have to remember that, for the next plastic superglue/welded box I come across You open those by tapping them with the plastic handle of a screwdriver, working along the seam. A long time ago mikeselectricstuff showed how to do it on his youtube channel. I can't remember which video. The technique works very well. |
