How Do I Get Longer Life Out of My Diamond Wire?
Why are my liners wearing irregularly?
Regularly check the alignment on Pellegrini’s single-wire flywheels. This tip offers longer wear & life on diamond wire, flywheels, guide wheels and liners.
On the Tension side of the machine the flywheel should have the bottom side of the flywheel tipped into the column 12mm (maximum 15mm)
On the Tension side of the machine, the side closest to center should be tipped away from the column max 3mm / max 6mm on the Drive side.
For more info and/or to buy Pellegrini parts, please call Eric.

How to Repair a Broken Tablet
Clean dust and dirt from break. Squeeze epoxy onto break. (Barre-Pak™ epoxy works great.) Set broken piece into place. Use wedges front and back against 2×4’s that have been driven into the ground to hold the piece in place. Squeeze epoxy onto break and set other broken pieces in place. Again, use wedges to hold pieces into place. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the epoxy to set up. A longer time is necessary for cooler weather.
Barre-Pak™ is easy and simple to use, anyone can use it!
Follow the simple instructions and the guesswork has been eliminated because Barre-Pak™ is pre-measured in a 70-gram kit.
Barre-Pak™ is mixed in its own container (without opening the package) and then squeeze out to apply. Clean and neat!
