Coil length resistance

[SkiWhiz]

I have noticed with some of the Tesoro's that I have got sometimes it is hard to adjust the coil length. Seems that there is resistance when pulling or pushing the lower rod into or out of the middle rod. I think usually it is because the punched out holes are burred on the inside of the pipe (rod). I was wondering how a person can debur the holes. Thanks! Steve.

Take the tapered handle of a metal file that fits the hole and use it as a reamer.

Sorry to sound so dumb but I don't understand. About the only files I have are the one's to sharpen my chainsaw chains & I don't see how they would work. Steve.

Steve, I believe chain saw files are round. A flat file has rather sharp corners on the tapered handle. I have used such files as reamers. I suppose if the your round file would go into the hole, you could gently file off the burrs. Dan

I think I may have misunderstood your problem. I was thinking of the burrs as being inside the hole, not letting the ball fall into it. But now I understand the burrs are on the outside of the leg. Sorry. Maybe a flat file would do the trick. Dan

Now I understand what you are saying parfind. But what I mean is the burs are on the inside of the rod where the holes have been punched (drilled). You know what I mean - if you drill a hole through a round pipe it usually won't be perfectly clean (smooth) on the inside. Hope you know what I trying to say. Thanks! Steve.

It will deburr both sides of the metal or the hole. HH Later Jerry aka Tinfoil

You might try taping a piece of sandpaper to a pencil, chuck in small drill. insert to proper depth and spin it a bit to remove the burrs.

Only 1/2" x 2" is needed. Start the tape around one end of pencil, then just enough tape on the paper to hold it... keep wrapping the paper. hold the wrapping while inserting. it will flap and hopefully fix your prob? Not too much or you'll be loose forever!
