USER MANUAL FOR DOLBY FACETING MACHINE
« on: September 18, 2010, 07:35:20 PM »
Hello,
I know this is a long shot.
I recently purchased a second hand Dolby Faceting Machine.
The bearing assembly of the main table is starting to make noise so I am guessing the bearings are on their way out.
I was wondering if anyone has a manual for this machine so I can work out how to replace the bearings.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

Mark, the only reference I can find for this Dolby so far is actually on this forum.
You might want to get in contact with 'Elloope' VIA PM.
From this thread.

Mehoose,
Pretty much did.
Just applied a heap of lubricant (INOX) to the bearings as much as I could and noise went away. Just dry bearings I guess. Running as good as new now.

Mark
