Hello all,
I had a foolish accident yesterday and I let my OF 1400 drop from my workbench. It turned almost upside-down during the flight and hit the floor top side corner first. Almost spooked a sh*t out of me.
Afterwards I checked the tool for a damage and at first I noticed only scratches on the top and I was relieved a bit. Then I took a good grip from the frame and the base and twisted the frame side to side and back and forth to see if there is any extraordinary movement... And there was. Sideways there is clear sloppiness which I measured approx 0.25mm at the tip of the collet. This sloppiness goes away when the raiser lock is tightened.
Is my half year old tool now ruined or is the sloppiness a feature? Didn't take a notice before the accident. Warranty is over for sure. :'(
