Has anyone experienced problems with the facet head NOT retracting after it is pulled out? Is it auto-retracting? Does it retract smoothly?

I have not. I have installed and used two of these and never had that problem. It is not auto retracting.

It's not auto-retracting. Mine operates perfectly. It "puts" back into the retracted position easily, perfectly and smoothly.

it retracts manually, with no effort and yes, smoothly. since i wrote my last review Delta sent me a replacement valve/solenoid which came with a different battery pack to power the valve. the original power pack took C batteries. the new power pack takes AA's. since i have replaced the original valve with the new one the faucet has worked flawlessly. Delta must have figured the original design over powered, perhaps fried the valve using the C batteries. i'm happy now.

My faucet head does not automatically retract. You have to raise it back into place and often you need to turn the head a little to get it back to the correct position. Although it is not a big problem, I thought it should have been a little smoother.

We just installed it a few weeks ago and have had no problems with it. It is not auto-retracting, but it slides back in very easily and smoothly.

Check under the sink to see if anything interferes with the motion of the flexible hose

I have not had a problem with my mop heads not staying in the mop handle, but I do have a problem keeping the handle together. I love my dyna op and don't plan to use any other mop. Maybe you are not pushing the mop all the way in to secure it.

Yep. Same here. Just peel it off before installing the facemask. Mine was already loose. If yours isn't warm it up with a hair dryer and it should come off easily.

You can partially retract. As you partailly pull the cord out, it stays at the current lenght until you push the retract button. I never pull the cord out entirely.

No. My phone wouldnt allow me to correctly answer. It does not detach from the headpiece itself, but there is a longer cable in which can attach and unattach

It detaches relatively quickly by unscrewing the two hand screws that hold it in the clamps. I can get it off in a few seconds. It takes slightly longer to put back on because you need to re-center it and line it up. You could probably make some marks on the mounting poles that indicate your preferred position.

It pulls out and retracts with ease ... even after many repeated uses. This is a quality product, better than that of other major manufacturers.

Hey there, no the cord does not retract. I am not super happy with this set. Mine came in the mail pre opened and dusty and the small curlers are really small, I can only use the larger ones.

I have owned this model for 6 months and have had no problems removing it and putting it back on. I would suggest not doing it often though as you will stretch the outer casing.

When you say that it got stuck in the collet, I assume you mean that the roloc holder will not slide out of the collet when the nut on the collet is loosened. From time to time, this happens to me, but I have found that a gentle tap on the side of the cutting or grinding tool holder is sufficient to knock it loose.

Make sure you are using the lever to make it retract. Mine stopped retracting and I had to send it back. The send it back it me in two weeks and it's working now.

So glad you asked that question. I just got my unit and have been trying to take the top off for the past 15 minutes. Finally looked here and was relieved that it's not just me. Finally I got it off - no secret - just brute strength. :-)

The face plate screws into the spindle of the lathe. To get it off you need to hold in the spindle lock button and rotate the face plate off. As I recall there are also set screws on the face plate that comes with the lathe, so make sure these are unscrewed. The face place can be difficult to remove if you are not using a nylon washer. The metal to metal contact can stick. I think you have a wrench that came with the lathe that can be used on the face plate to rotate it off. Give it a hit with a rubber mallet as it may be sticking. I think the spur center uses a #2 Morse taper so you need to use the tool (a long poker that fits into the end of the tail stock or head stock. Just give it a good hard push in to knock out the center. I have this lathe but do not use the face plate or centers that came with it. They are not so good. Buy different ones . Hope this helps.

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!

I never had that problem- but if I unscrew the head a quarter turn it goes out. Maybe you could make sure there are no burrs on the main body mating surface or trim it back a little -so the head screws in a little farther -and the center and side contacts touch properly.

Unfortunately no. When the head detaches from the handle the screw remains on the bottom of the head. I had to buy a small manfrotto head to put on my slider.

To be honest with you I haven't tried, I do know it detaches really easy from the main unit. I am really impressed with this unit though. Hope that was helpful
