I bought some Lenox gold blades as replacements, and they seem to wobble and not stay flush in there. Does anyone else have this issue?

I've been using the Lenox Gold titanium edge blade and it fits snugly with no wobble at all. Make sure the blade is seated correctly and then tighten the retaining screw sufficiently (tight). It's possible there is some manufacturing tolerance that can cause some blades to not fit well.

Yes. This is a problem with the EAB and EAB Lite. Standard blades (like Stanley, Lenox Gold, and Irwin) will screw in securely, but they wobble. The thicker blades are contractor blades; the ones I buy are made under the SuperKnife brand.

This happened to me also. I believe that the metal piece that supports the stem is not quite straight but I'm not sure about that. I did notice, before that happened, that I had difficulty getting the pieces to separate...could be the reason. I have not had any more trouble with breakage but the tightness is still there. I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. I have ordered a new processor, same model, but wanted the same size so that I could still use all my various blades & bowls. Time will tell if that fixes the problem.

Not that I know of. I haven't had my replacement blade crack any yet so it may have been something wrong with the hardening process they were using on the old blades which they fixed with the new ones. This is a total guess though. I can say though that I only hand wash my blade now so maybe that is a factor as well. The old one developed cracks pretty early and I've put this new one through a lot of use.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

on a couple of my combs i had to bend the teeth in a bit to keep them from sticking out farther than the sides of my clipper blade. that fixed that problem for me. just be careful not to bend it too forcefully, and bend it at the base of comb. i am using them with a 30 blade. not sure if that would make a difference.

I have not had that problem. I would check inside the blade chamber to make sure there is no residue sticking to the inside of it.

Perhaps you bent the blades a little when taking them apart. (I did that once on one of my previous Panasonic trimmers.) If the shaft spins freely without binding up when you have it taken apart, you know it's the blades. If that's the case, I would try GENTLY squeezing them in just a little bit.

contact the manufacture about replacement blades. Have not had this problem yet.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

Mine fit fine. If they are too big try grinding them down a bit. If they are a little small they are used to clamp things so they will straighten out when used.If you prefer, contact Black and Decker and they can send you a new set. Or you can buy a new one.

The "safe" short ends of the blades do appear to stick out or overhang by about 1/32 inch. I hadn't really noticed this before. I am using LORD premium razors as other drug store brands just don't give me as smooth of a shave. I don't know if other brands hung over the sides.

Sorry but I am not sure of the answer. The blade I bought was an exact fit for the Acme model I own. I would be afraid of a possible wobble effect because you would have to really ream hard on the lock nut and even then it could come loose. Check Ebay and see if you can get a new/used one.Don

Please unscrue the two scruse on the back of the blades, when you do this then you will see 4 small scruse! Tighten them down and you shouldnt have any more poblems,

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

Meidego is right about the blade slipping right off the center column. If it doesn't come off very easily something is very wrong and you need to contact Oster. However, I have to disagree with Meidego about the quality of this little baby. I have had mine for two or three years now and I love it. I use it all the time and if it ever goes bad I will buy another to replace it...but each to their own. Perhaps Meidego is, or was, trying to process large amounts of food in the unit; it is only intended for small tasks.

Sounds like a bad bearing. The depth may cause an issue, but unlikely. Depending on material you are cutting, it may bog down with a 1 3/4 hp, but not wobble. I think adam brown hit it on the mark.. you got a dud. I cut 2" corian with it and it cuts like butter with no wobble what so ever.
