chiman12 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I lightly sanded down the edge of my gen until it snapped in tightly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Yes i think that's the only solution. I just finished sanding down my gen 16710 insert and to be honest it's mentally a lot more difficult then sanding down a 30 dollar rep insert.

Andei3000 Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Thanks guys, then I'll sand the insert down. How did you do it? By hand, turning it on sandpaper or mounted on a drill to get a perfect round finish? Can't wait to get my 1655 from josh to finish this project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiman12 Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 By hand, use 600 grit sand paper and start at 12 o'clock, going around and lightly going around the insert. I would not suggest to use any power tool, because the metal used for the insert is relatively soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yes by hand and max 600 grid. A Dremel takes of to much in one movement. It took me 45 minutes to get my insert on the GMT II flush Carpe Diem Cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andei3000 Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Then it shall be 600 grit and by hand, now I know what I'm going to do this evening Thanks Chi and Cats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
