[QUOTE="Moth, post: 555167, member: 9882"] Thanks Dihusky - I've had the plastic 'O' rings governing the Master Lap replaced with 12mm nuts, as you said they compact after time and throw the settings out, in my case, it threw the alignment of the Master Lap out about 1 - 2 mm. With the support legs I maintain my 2000 in the one position on a purpose built bench and don't seem to have any problems there. Started to think it was a technique bad habit I had developed but couldn't identify (bit like my golf) but I have cut stones on the commonly used machines at the Club without the same drama's.Will be investigating all probabilities with a tool-maker who repairs machines (experienced cutter and master technician) in the next day or so - I'll let you know how I get on. Interesting though, I spoke with Peter (Halls) and he said, if he had his choice he would prefer to make the 2000 over the newer models - claimed they were far better but unfortunately the manufacturing cost of them is prohibitive in a competitive market.
