    Re: 2004 Compak K8 Silenzio cant grind finely!

    Why not try to reinstall again if the above measuring techniques require some sort of guage and are otherwise tricky to perform. A reinstall with particular attention to ensuring a good flat seating of the burrs might be enough.
    There is nothing to lose and the possibility of a greeat grinder if it does work (and no need to sell). My fingers are crossed for you.
    Your post too (post 4) I am not sure how you were able to wind down the carrier when the motor was running until the motor stopped. The reason i query this is because (as you can see from an eatrlier topic of mine) that I thought that i had wound the burrs until they were toucching, because I couldnt wind the top one down anymore. However, i discovered that gum in the threads was preventing the carrier from winding all the way down. I would check this again too.

    Cheers

      Thanks for your reply Greg. I am sure they are touching because there is no gunk in any of the thread (cleaned it all with toothpicks) and when I look through the chute, I can see the burrs touching. I can quite easily turn the upper burr carrier while buzzing the motor and as I screw it in, I can hear that light metal on metal sound. If I go any further, it stops the bottom burr from spinning almost instantly rather than normally winding down.

      Thanks a lot for trying to help If I have misunderstood you, please let me know!
