There has to be a reason they are there in the first place. Everytime I would do a repair on my Volkswagen Corrado, I would always encounter parts that looked as if they had no function. What I learned is that Germans don't design components for no reason, [laughing] , that was a costly leason in some cases!
Anyways, I guess I'm just wondering if there is a reason to have the o ring.
Thanks again

Doesn't it snug up the bit inside the Centrotec chuck? You're right about manufacturers not making parts for no good reason.

If you send me your contact info, I'll get the service department to send you a couple.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Just an FYI, they serve no purpose at all and do not add any functionality and does not act as a stop. It is for branding only.

Ron, it's always nice to first ask permission to reuse someone's photo and then credit owner.

I offer an apology to Greg for that infraction although it sounds like Shane is going to make right on his set due to my oversight.

Oh come on Ron, we know you were really trying to steal some Festool o-rings. [tongue] [big grin]
