Pete,
Thanks for the posting! The model of the Vanderbilt you were building in that thread you posted the URL too, what was it? Looks to be an old Kemtron kit?
As for the Arbour Models, H-8, I had read your posting, and I must say, I've got 2 of these models and neither one has the driver issues I've read about.....BUT then again, I also have a mill that made things correct to work properly.... Needless to say, ALOT of work but the thing will pull my house! As I'm not using the factory motor......
There is a trick to getting the factory drivers and axles to spin right.....You need a set of chain saw" chain sharpening files. the 1/8th diameter one. this will "open" the axle slots to spin freely, AND not wobble! BUT, work slow! To much will re-create the wobble again, make a few passes, and check the spin, do it again as needed, and recheck it, and so on....
