Title: wobble with a Clam plate
Post by: SirCranksalot on Feb 21, 2023, 06:08 PM

My Mora auger wobbles quite a bit which sometimes seem to cause the drill to stall. There is a fair amount of 'play' on the shaft of the Clam plate. I guess there is some damage or wear on the bearing or bushing of the Clam. I don't see how to fix this except maybe buying a new bearing and replacing. I don't know if I can, in fact, buy one---none I see listed on their site----and to replace might be quite a challenge. Any suggestions? TIA

I would Email Clam ..they may just ship you a bearing housing for free after hearing your story .
