Tormach Issues: Air Nozzle and Drawbar Socket

Hi All - I noticed a couple issues with the Tormach today:

  1. The plastic nozzle on the end of the air line is missing. I tried to find a replacement, but the only one in the tool chest seems damaged.

  2. The torque wrench socket was slipping when I tried to tighten the drawbar. Did someone replace the socket with a larger size or something? It seems like more than just wear (although there are some definite marks). I couldn’t find any other sockets.

That’s the correct socket. the drawbar does appear to be worn past using that 12 point socket. We will need to get a 8-point socket or just replace the drawbar.
