Title: USB sticking in MB-102
Post by: Rossy66 on February 15, 2026, 05:18:43 AM
I have started using my new MB-102 to sharpen chisels on the side and honing and it seems to be sticking when I turn the fine adjustment wheel. The wheel gets harder to turn after a few rotations and then stops and I can't raise the USB. If I lift the usb up and out of the MB-102 then reinsert it, it seems to work for a few turns and then seems to become difficult to turn the adjustment wheel again.

Does any one have any suggestions?
















?

Wow, surprising no input. I too have been noticing that while having to Ask older Jigs or even the new one so I'm giving off a resistance as it's gliding across I'm wondered maybe adding a little bit of oil I've been trying to get good post thanks

I have the MB-100 which is quite similar to the MB-102.  That said, I have no issues as you've noted.  But, I also do not use it often.

Thanks, I cleaned it thoroughly and it seems ok now.
