Putting the 2 spacers between the laser cut plate and the chassis and 1 between the motor and the chassis does compress the bearing and leaves 9 mm of the auger extending out of the tip of the pipe.

Hi gibeaug,

I think I am having the same problem, can you post pictures of your assembly with the modification that you mentioned?

Thanks.

Try 2 spacers there, and one set of spacers between the motor and the chassis. Then set the shaft collar to 84.5mm and measure how much auger sticks out with the thrust bearing compressed.

1st one - - 84.5 mm from end of auger to collar and 2 spacers;


2nd one - 90 mm from end of auger to collar and 1 spacer;

Tried different solutions as found on forum;

1 spacer and 90mm between end of auger and collar

2 spacers and 84.5 mm between end of auger and collar

Neither works.  Either the bearings are not being compressed (too loose) or they are compressed but too much of the auger extends bast the end of the barrel.

Any thoughts?

TIA 

George
