why aren't the spindles tapped?

These are aftermarket spindles, although I don't know the why (they are not tapped) it is possible they fit models with differently threaded bolts or studs, or it is simply to save money. The cast aluminum is drilled so it can be tapped, but you can also use through bolts (I have), a 5/16 inch bolt with nut and lock washer has been working well for me for over a year with no problems.

The original equipment bolts are self tapping, I was concerned about this as well but they thread right in and work great from my experience!

It doesn't produce a tapping, it's more like a thumping sensation; all the mechanics are enclosed so I can't confirm how the sensation is produced.

There is an exceptional amount of pressure required. You must hold the trigger in with your finger constantly for the machine to work. There is no way to lock it in the on position.

My guess is that you would have to press so hard that the spindle would not turn.

Round black nuts unscrew on the arm bottoms. Partially loosen them 2-4 turns, tap upward and the spindle will slide up to loosen the black washers. The arms are spring loaded so be careful. Drop a towel below each arm to protect the floor. I'd consider a synthetic lubricant.

I've had a similar problem. The only thing I've done is squeze the handles together above and below the pivot with a screwdriver. This has worked for me - I hope this helps. Best Regards - Philip

im not sure Neil, I didn't have this issue, did you strip the bolt that the nut attaches to? you may just have to slowly stop turning the nut when you feel the tension. I apologize for not a better answer.

I ordered & received this table in early December. The legs are turned. I checked the latest photo of the table on Amazon before replying to your question. The legs in the picture are identical & they are spindle turned.

Hold the button that stops the spindle from spinning so the spindle doesn't spind. Twist the part that closes the jaws counter clockwise until it comes off. Then the jaws or "pinchers" as you referred to should just drop straight out. If not there could be rust in it keeping it from comming out, or its just simply stuck. Some pliers should pull them out.

Not us. You may try adding some lock-tite or some sort of thread lock compound. If that doesn't work, just replace the lock nut itself.

I have the same problem. Our printer doesn't see it and when I looked at the part that should have a small post it is actually a spring instead. They are not compatible with the Brother printer.

I think the spindles are too short to keep the larger pot lids from leaning on eachother.

Also make sure that you order extra bolts. Four for each spindle. They did not come with the bundle package. And you will need 3 nuts that hold the blades on. None of which came with the package that I ordered. the holes were the bolts go through on the spindles are not threaded but that's not a problem because I just started one of the bolts through and it threaded itself.

No, either the nut is missing or the holes aren't tap correctly if you use the extension bar. This is for lower bolts that attaches to the ceiling bracket. I'm returning mine. The instruction is horrible and there is no customer service telephone number I can locate. NOT RECOMMENDED.

They're self-tapping. Just screw them in.I wasn't exactly impressed by the provided screws and the location of the holes pre-drilled in the metal brackets, though. So, I drilled new holes and used better screws. The standard hardware will work. Mine will just work better.

some spindle assy come no threads. I went to fastenal and bought the bolts and nuts and put the spindleon the deck. Note that you have self locking nuts to where nuts will not back off your bolt

It requires a firm push, then it should click into place. If not, then it is defective. Without handling it myself, it is difficult to tell what the problem is.
