The edger has about 50k cuts on it. Never heard this light, high pitched noise until a few days ago. I hear it more on the bevel cycle than on the roughing wheel.
Just started hearing a faint whining when edging a lens, like a bearing is worn and trying to fail. More likely to be from the spindle or from the drive motor? (I assume both have bearings. I...
Don't have, and I think you're correct that the problem is internal. Looks like I'll send the tracer to California for a refurbish, probably. Thanks for the reply.
Yes, and if I hold the frame to minimize lift at the edges it'll do one side at a time fine. Just won't stay in the bevel when I try to trace left and right lenses
Yes, did both the calibration and the tension procedure. I noticed, too, that the stylus doesn't have "stop" points when I rotate it by hand. It will go the full 360 degree swing.
So the stylus keeps popping out of the bevel while tracing frames if there is any tilt at all. Having to trace one eye at a time, positioning the frame in the least difficult position. I see that...
Talked with Leo Hadley, and he gave me some guidance for removing the wheels, which have seized up and are stuck on the shaft. After some PB Blaster, time, and a torch, I was able to free up the...
heard a loud "thump" during edging, then some rather noisy vibration during the edging cycle. Inspection found that the polishing wheel had shed a portion of its surface. Anyone replaced a...
My 9000 Santinelli feeler assembly seems to be backed up somewhere with grinding debris, I think. It moves left to right and right to left unevenly, seems to "catch" at times, and the result is that...
Had a customer request polarized sunglasses for golf with the bifocal at the top of the lens, rather than the bottom, because he didn't want the b/f to interfere with his view of the ball at address....
yes, it is! will that lead toward a solution? thanks for the reply....(just now saw your other post about the lmu arm. I'll check that out today)
Hmmm. Don't know, because I can't force it to do this. It happens at very occasional times, maybe once every 20 startups, or so. I'll look, though, each morning to see if that is happening. ...
At least I know ours isn't the only edger with this problem. Thanks for the reply.

Re: Santinelli 9000 edger:
At random times, upon powering up, the first lens cuts with a flat bevel like a rimless setting, even when on metal or zyl frame selection. Anyone know why this...
Immediately after she is turned on, my sanitelli 9000 is cutting the first lens with a flat bevel, even when it's programmed for a MTL or ZYL bevel. After the first lens is cut, everything is ok. I...
Thanks for the reply. Yeah, it was the motor. I took it out and ordered another one. Ouch....
My Santinelli 9000 wheel made some noise for a minute, then quit spinning, and I smell a faint burnt smell. Assuming the motor fried. Anyone know if these can be purchased and installed by myself? ...
My Santinelli 9000 Graymills VPJ35-a model pump quit working. Looking for a replacement pump, trying to save money. Anyone have a source or can suggest alternative pump? Thanks for any help....
today my santinelli 9000 started leaking somewhere around the area surrounding the drainage hole. When the pumps are running, water comes dripping off the sides of the drain hose, coming from...
Tension calibration was the whole deal, it seems. Awesome assistance!! Thank you so much. Wish I could somehow return the favor...
Now that you mention it, when the stylus traces the squares, if the figures are off significantly, the square shape in the window is ragged and uneven, for what that's worth. Does that mean the...
The stylus position changes little by little so that I can see the position change between jobs. At that point, sometimes the machine traces too large, sometimes too small. When I trace the...
I have an LE 9000 edger. Santinelli - The tracer has been inconsistent lately, and has to be constantly recalibrated to avoid messing up jobs. Does anyone have a fix for this? Is it a common...
I know it's been 4 months, but is this still perchance for sale? Thanks, Rick Stevens, OD
