FEEDSCREW.
Foreign metal has obviously damaged this feedscrew. This type of damage makes this
feedscrew unfit for use. Other than the tramp metal damage, this feedscrew has sufficient wear
to make it unusable.
The outside diameter of the pressure flights are rounded. They should have a square edge. The
front of the pressure flight should be flat. The outside diameter through the head section is
rounded, and undersized. The knife drive lugs are bent (clockwise). This feedscrew is in
serious need of rebuilding, and when rebuilt, it will look as good as new.
