thanks for that info, I'll get it sorted

thanks, yes, it rotates quite freely but (I may be imagining this) it does not rotate as long as it used to. I'll look around and try to clean it up a bit more.

If it is the bearing, is this a relatively straightforward replacement. I live in Australia and am faaaar away from the specialists.

I have a MKV with a jointer, which has worked well in the past. It has started to make a high pitched whine noise, which gets worse as the RPM is increased.

My guess is that the bearing may be on the way out. All the screws on the jointer are tight and I cannot see any obvious problems here.

Any ...

Thanks Tim

I'll look into it.

Thanks for the responses and the offers. I appreciate them. Gives me the feeling that the SS group of people worldwide are a special group.

I've tried to contact SS about shipping, etc but have had no reply from them.

I'll keep on trying though.

Hello all

I'm looking for any info from Aussies on the forum. I bought my MKV in the UK a few years ago then moved to Aus.

Looking for info on parts availability etc.

Cheers
