Has anyone had a problem with the water trough knob on the t-8 coming off?
Mine did last week. They have a repair kit that they are sending me and they
have sent a link to a video on how to repair myself. Involves completely disassembling
unit. Wondering if this is widespread.
This is the first I have heard of it. Please keep us posted.

Repaired successfully. Affinity sent me all necessary parts and I also
asked for the metric star point bit for the screws. I have the mp4 video Tormek
made for the repair. Too big to attach. 32M. Affinity can send a link to download it. It's a good way to get to know your machine.
I can see this being a persistent problem for high use machines. Lubrication may help.
If you put the trough holder all the way up and look in the slot you will see a little white gear.
a skinny screwdriver can get some lube on that. I use food grade super lube that I use on slicers.
My water trough knob just sprung off my T-8. The machine was running unattended whilst the stone was absorbing water.
The washer and spring were flung across the room.
This fault is a little surprising and may hint at a design or build issue as I don't push the machine hard at all and have only used it a few times to date.
Any links to repair text/videos would be greatly appreciated.

Just do it, what Ken said. I delayed and it was great when I finally did. Great service.
