Ahh I think I got it now, just gave up too soon.

Yup. That's why the instructions say:

Axial movement of 2-3cm is normal. Slide the auger so that the thrust bearing is compressed during the future assembly steps.

ok, so it is supposed to be free to move back and forth, a little bit. So I just pull out a little on the auger so the bearing is against the wood, correct?

I can push in and pull out on the auger, about a 1/2 inch, as you can see in the pics. One I am pulling the auger out and one I am pushing it in.

Then the auger should be free to slide back and forth. Slide to keep the bearing compressed and keep it in that position as you proceed.

I know I don't have something right, just don't know what it is. I haven't gotten to the motor yet, on step 9

Then you didn't mount the motor properly.

Could someone post a picture of how the thrust bearing is supposed to look on v1.3. The way I have it, it is not compressed at all.
