I've never had that problem and I've had mine since 1999.

Thanks for the advice. It's been running fine ever since I put it on/made that video. ZERO issues.

Thanks. I got my feet with with Lean Office back in 2008, found 2SL around 9 years ago and haven't looked back.

That was perhaps that kindest comment ever. Consider it done.

@@RobertDinTulsa Thsnk you and looking forward to your next gift to help others 😁

The wheel stop is for the wheels on the VEHICLE that gets parked in the garage. No guessing where to stop since the wheel stop makes that decision for you. Everything in the garage is on wheels or is extremely light/doesn't need wheels. Makes it very easy to use/move. No struggle.

I take it that they fit the McLane edger, correct? Are they balanced? Get this...I'm still using that same blade but it's nearing the end of it's lifespan. I just had to change a couple of things in my edging process.

@@RobertDinTulsa They do fit my McLane. Two sharpened edges (which doesn’t matter to me). I guess they’re balanced. I help with grounds maintenance at our church where the grass edge measures 9/10 of a mile not including the street curb which is done with a string trimmer. The edging had been neglected so the first edging of this season wore one blade down 80% but the concrete edge is real irregular. The every two week touch up trimming wears it down much less.

@@pnwester2697 Yeah, smart move. Every other week is one key. Another is to not push the blade against the concrete or too deep. They last a LOT longer.

Good catch, Thomas. I just did a little bit of homework, found the part, entered that info as 5) in the description below the video and updated all of the prices.

The problem seems better than your solution . Maybe you should make a video with pictures.

@@RobertDinTulsa thanks for your speedy reply. It was a commercial microwave do some of them have fans that run when door open. Light never came on with door open or closed. Felt lots of prickly tingling senstsion on my arm. Arm feels a bit hot and uncomfortable twelve hours later. Will be hard to get hostel to cooperate building a case. I hope you are wrong about the magletron but I am sure you are not.

@@RobertDinTulsa thanks for your advice. The hostel says the machine is fine and has an extra thick plastic layer inside. They say it wad static electricity I felt. But arm still feels a bit hot under the skin.

It was definitely the same one. Here's what I think. If you look at the pulley/shaft you got, it's a pulley that's tig welded near the end. Yours clearly is tig welded farther up the shaft than mine was giving you more play. The one I purchased was actually worse than the McLane version, in that it's actually shorter than the McLane version. Tolerances at Rotary must not be too good... or... they made changes to the part in the past few years. The problem I'm having is the new bearings are not sitting flush to the tube. They're each sticking out about 1/8". That causes the bearings to bind when I tighten the blade.

In addition... comparing the one I received and the one you show in your video.... your pulley is noticeably closer to the top of the shaft than mine is. If I had yours, it would work for me. If you had mine, you would not need the washer.

The odd part about it is that he complained (to himself) and about 18 others and I was the first person to do something about it.

Thanks Jack. Have you completed your move/rearrangement with all of the equipment with your new building? If so, give us a virtual tour.

@@RobertDinTulsa We are still in the process, I'll make a update video soon

As stated in the video at ~ 7:40, I initially used a marker to clearly define one orange wire from its neighbor...only to realize that I would have still have to remember which marked/unmarked wire goes where. Order does matter. The purpose of the video was to record myself in troubleshooting and problem-solving a repair issue instead of buying a new $400 microwave. Most importantly, to show other people my successes, failures, frustrations and can-do-it attitude without paying a tradesman $90 an hour plus parts to do something that will, in the end, cost me a small fraction of what that person would have charged. Staying organized when learning a brand-new skill (IN-PROCESS) can be challenging for anyone. Staying positive while being frustrated with a process can also be challenging. Replace all of them? As stated in another comment - good point...I'll do that to the remaining two the next time it happens. Great lesson. Thanks for the tip. Tips help people save their hard-earned $$$.

After you marked the orange wire black I was thinking to myself that I would just take a picture with my phone so I could see it later when I needed to. Would that not have worked?

Dead on! I have plenty of money to buy a new one...but I also have principles and standards that outweigh their crappy business practices.

I'll probably do just that if I have to open it up again. Thanks for the advice. Maybe other viewers/watchers will heed the advice.

I might have to expand on those non-standardized measurements. I didn't think of the wood shrinking / expanding.

Thanks Jack

Oddly enough, the refrigerator is the ONLY place that management has jumped on the lean bandwagon...they HATE food being left in there for very long - smelling, stinking, rotting, etc... I get your valid point but management wants to know how long items have been in there, not when they expire. Another point that you caught is that I placed those items in there in 10/2018 and video'd it the same day...just didn't post the video. I make hundreds of micro improvements throughout the work week...I just don't have the time to video them and not allowed to video most of them due to the nature of the job. I wanted to stretch the videos out. Still, good catch. Yes, color coding is better. Want something shocking? Other employees saw my labeling and followed suit = Heart attack! They still aren't lean in their daily work but at least its a step in the right direction for them.

@@RobertDinTulsa You're sparking a movement!

What part of Oklahoma?

Coweta

@@SKewber42069- You're basically right down the street. Too cool. By the way, I'm 51 and started cubing at the age of 50...Planning on going to my first competition next year...just for the experience, not the times.

That's awesome! I'm going to a cubing competition on December 1st for the same reasons.

@@SKewber42069 - Bentonville? Good choice...it's not too far. Good luck.

No problem. Glad I could help. What's the origin to your username?

@@RobertDinTulsa A story from my childhood called The Point!

A simple office label for legal folders and a sharpie will do the trick. Use a ruler to manage your writing if your penmanship isn't quite up to par...quality before speed.

EXACTLY

Yes, we had a hoarder that retired after 40 years and he wouldn't let anything leave; nightmare. Stand-up desk? I haven't tried one yet...my office is a BIG TIME Work In Progress (WIP). My goal for every area that I oversee is minimization...which is hard since I am also the only LEAN minded person at work and that doesn't mesh well with normal people.

I cleaned PART of the dryer vent system and reduced that time down to 2.1 minutes per pound of wet laundry. That cleaning was only the part that I could easily reach within the laundry room & dryer.

Wow thats a very big difference

You are very welcome. Glad I could help.

Eric, once you have the shaft out you simply have to: 1) insert a screwdriver (or some other longer instrument of your choice) through the hole in the left set of bearings, angled up or down until it hits against the outer edge of the right set of bearings... 2) use a hammer (or some other striking device) to strike against the screwdriver...several times until the right set of bearings pop out 3) repeat the above procedures for the left bearings (except that you won't have to insert the screwdriver through the right bearings since you have already popped them out.

Eric, That missing 1/4-20x1/2 screw on front of the housing that holds shaft and bearing secures the pulley cover (that you are also missing) to the rest of the assembly that you have been focused on. That screw will most likely come with your pulley cover order. You are correct, the prices have gone up a lot, relatively speaking. I will amend that information in the videos description. Thanks for the heads up. Another piece of advice: Get a manual. Google: Mclane Edger Manual <model number found on the right side of the right handle just below the McLane logo found on the 3.5" X 7" rectangular plate> Glad I could help - It sucks being frustrated with something and you seeming have nowhere to turn for help.
