Re: Serious spring question
It seems to me that the rear spring breaking on workhorse machines is fairly common, ive worked with two people with workhorses and that happened with the soba pilot, and if you search it, you can find others on message boards that its happened to, however reliable you beleive that to be. maybe cranked too tight down, with not enough clamp. joey d uses two tight, custom drilled washers and im pretty sure sobas have two smaller, and maybe looser washers?
ive used tons of machines, and that has never happened to me. the machines i have used that i like the best, are usually smaller run, independently made. more is on the line for a handmade machine, and a little more room for error on production types i think. from using: pulse, next gen, time machine, micky sharpz etc. id dont know. maybe workhorse is getting too big, because i remember years ago, cifferri made a machine that couldnt be beat. hell he may still. but im guessing they are making a s&!t ton of machines and they might have a small error, or maybe the spring stock is wack?
