ROTARY WORKS - problem with nipple/grommet grinding

[E773]

Does anyone have suggestions on how to get the rubber grommet to NOT scrape against the machine?? I put a metal washer in between but the washer just grinded down the metal on the machine from the friction. I dont see any other way beside that to get the machine running though. This machine is awesome but i have no idea why he designed it like this. Dale sent me a new part to replace the grinded down part but what now, just use it til this one grinds down also?? lol, any ideas??

I had same problem. Use the ones from tatsoul they are made a lot better Snug tight I think they call them. The silicone ones work ok too, those cheap rubber ones shread like crazy and get all in the works of the machines.

Just about everyone I know uses papertowel squares with this machine.

Use a nylon washer, not metal. Thats what I use myself anyways.

My one piece came with a big thick grommet glued to it.

Any Nylon or Fibre washer will do, I have a shit load of the Gromms which come with Cheap combos, all I do is slice of the "dome", with a Craft Knife, and I am left with a nice washer.Pop that on first,Pic 1, and then slide yer Gromm on til it touches it, dont ram it on tight, or it defeats the purpose,Pic 2.....
