Jammed Domino cutter
Hey Domino guys ...
I need to swap cutters and the one currently installed won't budge. Before I start hitting it with WD-40, I wonder if any of you have some better ideas. Larry |

Larry Maybe take a wooden clamp (hand screw or regular clamp with wooden blocks) tighten it on the bit and pull it off twist if necessary. Try twisting it in the direction it spins... thinking it picked up a burr and its against the turn direction, with it might free it up. -- Jeff |

Got it ... and I am embarrassed beyond measure to report I was tightening it instead of loosening it. I misread the docs on the direction to turn. That's what I get for trying to read something upside down (the docs, not me).

Larry Yes, support the turret so that you do not force it to move in the direction that it normally moves. Festool advised me many years ago to preferably apply force either up or down. Apparently you can knock the left and right calibration out of whack if you force in those, left/right, directions. And support the turret on a bench top with the bit hanging our over the edge. Other than that a penetrating lube should work, I do find that the bit does get tight so anything past a little snug when reinstalled is too much. I wonder if a bit of Teflon tape or grease might alleviate the problem. |

Remember that a nut/blade/cutter always loosens in the same direction that it normally spins. |
