After spending half my day fixing my edger, I decided it is necessary to have a viable backup capable of cutting small B dimension lenses. I'm considering Fezz' offer for his Weco 440, but it would be 2-4 hours of driving each way to get it. Besides, I have an old Briot 4000 -- but there's a problem. The last time I used it, the lens wouldn't fully rotate on the roughing wheel. Instead, it would turn, back up, turn, and back up -- picture a rap DJ. Additionally, the machine was allowing the lens to float freely from right to left. After attempting to make out the manual (written by someone who writes English as a second language) I tried all the buttons on the machine, thinking I pressed the wrong one while transporting the edger. Is it as simple as my having pressed the wrong button, or is there a part that went bad?
Does anyone have experience with this machine and have any suggestions?
