Miller, Dean, anyone;
On the D9 hand machine the free standing cap is held on a stud. A screw located on the side can be loosened and the screw driver used to adjust or rotate the stud in place. I assume it is to adjust the caps connection between its internal geared track and the gear located on the balance wheel.
My question is can I adjust this to minimize the noise my gear connection makes? Or will this prematurely wear out my gear teeth? In addition, should I use fine grease on the gear teeth in the cap? Or should I use oil?, as W&W only mentions oil.
I hope the answer to this question helps other handmachine operators. Thanks again to anyone who can help.
