Dry hits! I'm sure mine has much smaller juice flow holes than on youtube reviews and google images!: FastTech Forums

cory_m Member JoinedOct 2016 Posts 92 Reviews 32 Kudos48	I found a hobby sized (3 inch/7cm) vise that can clamp to a 2 inch or less surface for 22.50CAD (~16 Euro) locally once I started searching for the right word; perfect, decent heft, small enough to stow in the tool box... and best of all I didn't have to pay shipping on dead weight, in fact I got 25% off instead. To think I was making due with a 3 inch C clamp when I could have had this - thanks for getting me looking again Taifix, I had given up on finding a decent vise when I got that C clamp. I really miss having a shop or at least a benched corner of a garage for these sorts of things. Working...

It definite did the trick! Got the base apart and polished all the air pathways and no more screaming babies! :) While I was at it, and since I have the vice now, it was also short work to polish the rough sanding around the juice holes I had done, and it's now working better than ever and doesn't look completely rough. I had intended to remove the ball bearing from the AFC to make it more adjustable, which I did, but didn't realize the other stopper was a pin or bearing too and I managed to lose it somewhere along the way... but at least I still had the bearing and spring that I removed to put in it's place. I've never had a problem with the JFC being hard to turn, but getting the base out has been an issue a couple times now. By "teflon band" did you mean plumbers tape (that thin teflon tape that one uses on faucet bolts and similar) on the threads or something entirely different? I find myself using this thing so much, I have to actually rewick it pretty often now... really need to put it on a mod that has more than one battery too, it's a beast. Thanks again Taifix!
