Blade guide is all good but I will try checking without the belt and without the blade next! That’s a great idea

Hey I have one of these and it’s got a good bit of vibration. How did you cut down on that? It’s not the bearings. I think it might be the belt or motor? I replaced the belt and it didn’t help much and when I tightened the belt by lowering the motor it helped a little but it’s still bad. The only thing that works well is putting weight on the top of the machine but that’s not very safe. I’m debating adding wood to the metal frame to make it more sturdy? I have the factory frame it came with. I think you do as well but mine is the same silver color as the rest of the machine.

Reply to Guess which can opener still works? L to R- 30 + years old, 3 years old, 6 months old … planned obsolescence or crappy design (of course they increase in price tag from L-R) by Torvabrocoli
Are you putting them in the dishwasher? Why do they have rust on them?

Reply to comment by Borgey_ in Saw a post comparing leather belts, heres my grip6 belt after 3 years of daily use. One of the only new products ive brought that could outlast me I think. by Borgey_
I also have one that I use daily for about 4 or 5 years. Looks just as good as yours.
