Old Prismatic faceting machine

[Bas]

Hello all from Canada> I just joined this site so I can answer a question some of you asked on page 2. You wanted to know how the quick height release works. I'll describe how to use it for those of you who have one.

You grab the housing where it attaches to the mast with one hand. With the other hand you grab the back of the housing and pull gently. It will pull apart. It then slides freely up and down the mast. Push it back into place gently when you are done to re-engage it. It has a small pin for alignment.

Photos included for clarity. Hope this is helpful to someone.

Hi Tom,
Now that I know you have some good answers...

Can you tell me the LOTTO numbers for this weekends draw ?

The Australian draw please, not the Canadian Draw.

Cheers layful:

Sorry, I haven't been here for a long time. Thanks so much, Bas, for showing this and how it works. I wish my machine had one!

By the way, the fingernail polish inside the brake is working! Much, much easier than machining one. Even if it wears out, it's easy to redo.
