Karl dahm washboy roller plate moving

[Jeff the tiler]

Hey all, just got a Karl Dahm recently to go with my existing pull rapid as have a load of large areas to do recently. Just wanted to see (as the roller plate moves around quite a lot) if it will settle down over time.

Not sure what a Karl Dahm one is but I have been through so many of those dam washboys..They are always getting damaged in some way or the rollers dont work etc etc:mad2:

When you wring the sponge out, do you push away from yourself or pull towards yourself?

Had my KD washboy years. No problems.

Not a lot to go wrong with them :smilewinkgrin:

Bri push away but know where you are coming from and possibly could be pulling back as well, like i would do with the pull rapid, without thinking about it.

Brie push away, and know where you are coming from

I could see the rollers moving if you were pulling, not a problem I've encountered as I'm a pusher :smilewinkgrin:

Did have a problem when I first got mine.

Had the water too warm/hot.......glue holding sponge on would melt, and the flamin thing would drop off. :mad2:

Karl Dham washboys are the biz. Never had any movement though.
I'd probably put a couple of screws through the roll at the top to stop it.
