when tightening the longest bolt, in the upper portion of the table bed model 960, it doesn't tighten fully, is this normal?

A. Pavel My husband whom i bought this item for says all the bolt tighten properly.

Hi Mr. A Pavel, I currently work in the manufacturing/corporate office in Washington. The bolt on the table bed should tighten and be flush with the shaft. Can you please contact us at your earliest convenience so we can help resolve this for you? We can be reached Monday-Friday 8:0am-4:00pm Pacific Standard time at 800-847-0143. Thank you for your time and thank you for being a customer of Teeter Hangups. Have a wonderful day! Sincerely,Customer Service

Its probably because the bolt is going into plastic. So then yes it may seem it dose not tighten

I had the same problem. The nut is an inset nut on the newer models (the manual diagram hasn't been updated to indicate as such); if you push up on the inset nut from the bottom while screwing in the bolt, it will engage the threads. Good luck!

I think that's normal, mine is like that too, and yet it's attaching and working well, right? Hope this helps :)

I think the lip sits so high because of where the clamp is. It is positioned in the center of the front and rear sections. I've tried making the clamp on the front tighter and it doesn't help. I've had the cover on my truck for a year now and it has always been like that. Its the only complaint I have. And as far as the clips not fitting I'm not sure what you mean. They just kinda hook under the lip inside the bed. They don't really lock in or anything. I'm sorry if I'm not getting what you mean by that. I kinda decided to look over the front sticking up a little bit because of the price. This was the cheapest one of this kind I could find and it seems to be holding up well.

No it should be the proper length, you should have washers on both sides (one on the bolt end and one onto the nut side) and the overall bolt length should be exact, when tightened there should be no movement, mine is tight.

Honestly, my did but the two bolts that are at each end of the bed one being on the head board and the other a the footer of the bed; were both vertical when they should of been horizontal in order to install the middle bar that holds the entire bed. So I had to chase 2k furniture to either send me another bed and/or do the installation... After several days of going back and forth and rescheduling appoints due to their availability; they came and instead of bringing me a new bed they drilled the bolts the way they should have been... Who is the furniture provider for you purchase?

It's normal. It's designed to be a tight fit and that's sufficient. Don't risk losing that fit by rubbing out the threads.

Measure where you want the bar and then with no clothes on the lower bar, tighten by hand very tightly. Test your measurement with one item, such as a shirt, and make sure both sides of the bar are even so bar is straight. The use a ratchet tool with a lot of muscle or a power tool to really tighten hardware. I was sad at first thinking this was a bad design but it does work with the right tools and is a nice feature.

The reading might be slightly off if your using the extension bar after the Torque Meter; as the extension bar would be twisting. However I would expect the difference to be very small. In most bolted joints we are only after achieving 60-70% of the bolt allowable tension and that all the bolts are tensioned the same. Basically to clamp the joint together by friction. Therefore I would personally not worry unless your using a stupidly long extension bar after the torque meter. My thoughts anyway.

Mine are loose, too, which creates an unacceptable instability. For such a highly-rated product that otherwise seems pretty solid, this loose connection is really troublesome and unacceptable. They should offer alternative bolts and/or washers to ensure a more snug and professional fit. After all, this is a component that bears weight on each of the different exercises possible.

There is an allen-screw holding the base to the bar, if that is the part you say is loose simply remove it, tighten it an re-install. If you have mounted it on a soft wall covering, like sheet-rock, and not installed long screws into a wall stud you will have to move it up or down and re install and fill the old holes. It will eventually loosen again, unless you mount it on something solid, or place a wood brace behind the sheetrock.

I don't understand what you mean by "the table top slants downward" - do you mean front to back or side-to-side? Mine is level in all directions so it's possible that the bolts under yours are loose and/or have shims (washers) incorrectly installed. The framework under the top should be level; if not there many be a manufacturing error.

I've disassembled several times and reassembled w no problems. Remove spring loader for staples. Remove all screws - chrome one last. Watch for a short dowel that fits in a slot in the "works" and slides in parallel ridges - that are molded in each half of the body. It's the only part that's not an obvious fit. Of course I had to remove a couple of jammed staples. Take a phone photo of the internals asap after separating the halves. That helps. If everything's in place - including the dowel that acts as the pivot point for the spring unit - the top half fits with use a little jiggle. Put in shiny screw first but not tight. Then the black screws - tightening as u go. Tighten shiny last. Takes 20 mins the "2nd" time u do it. And of course patience

There must be a way to tighten it. My saw is working well still. It got knocked down by a large wind gust, and broke the table. Jet sent me replacement parts. It seamed like it lost cutting power. It turned out that I had the belt too loose. A little tightening, and everything works like new. Open the white cover that covers the blade pulley. That should let you see if their is some bolts to tighten down the guide assembly. My saw is in my classroom, and I am off for summer, or I would go look. Here is a schematic of the saw. Copy it and then magnify it so you can see the assembly. http://www.ereplacementparts.com/jet-jwbs10os-707200-10inch-band-saw-parts-c-32652_32684_155038.html There must be a way to tighten it.

Do you mean the nylon nut at the bottom where the two bars meet (handle bar and foot bar)? During assembly, this confused me a bit, too. The nut should be on the inside of the bars, with the smaller end facing the machine. I held this nut in place with the included wrench and used a socket wrench to tighten the outside bolt into it. The directions for this entire thing could be a bit more clear (and this is coming from a pro Ikea assembler!)

I had no problem, but remember not to tighten any of the bolts until they are all in place. That provides the wiggle room that you may need.

Not normal. Large spring on the vertical shaft should keep it centered. Spring force is less near the middle but it should always re-center.
