CS88 rebate clamp - spring

[Steve1958]

I have a CS88 underpinner and the rebate clamp spring is just hanging down below the machine (must have fallen off when I have moved it around). I am unsure where it should connect to. There doesn't seem any obvious place and I have looked at the manual and there doesn't seem to be any diagrams showing the set up.

If anybody could help I would be most grateful.


Thanks, Steve

Hi and thanks for sending that through that is most appreciated. I had actually already looked all through that manual and it doesn't show the spring clearly or how it connects underneath.

Ideally it would be good if somebody who had a CS88 could take a photo of the under side so I could see the spring attachment mechanism or explain it to me.

Thankyou
Steve

[Not your average framer]

One end of the rebate clamp spring goes to the inner of the bowden cable and the other end goes to a hole drilled through the threaded end of a countersunk screw fitted to the table top casting. Not a particular nice way of doing things, but in spite of this at least it works.

I downloaded the manual, because I have one as a back up, well it was my first one bought from a retired framer, now have a pneumatic one, so the CS88 is a 'back up' but the rebate clamp has never worked , think some parts are missing, thinking of doing it up so it will be ready for when I retire in just under 3 years

Big thanks for everybody's help. It is all sorted now

Kind regards,

I've never used it with the rebate clamp working...does it help much?

[Steve1958]

Never really used it before I noticed the spring had come off, so thought I would give it a go once I fixed it. Next framing run on Friday (part timer ) so will report back

Thanks, Steve
