sigma 2g fault??

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

So finally got round to having a look at my sigma, Un packed it and cut a few small ceramic tiles. Happy with the cuts etc but when I took the measure bar off to pack away I noticed a few ball bearings. See pic. It it worth return g as look they do very little.
Cheers

Seems to be a variation of sizes ?

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Yes. The bearings are different in size
they just popped out. Couldn't see any sort of cartridge to hold them in place.

Really can't see why there there, I have 4 sigmas and one with a pull handle (which I changed for a KK) and never noticed any ball bearings floating about ?

First sigma so not sure if is normal in this 2g one. Think @Plan Tec Tiling got one so he might shed some light. Took weeks to come in to shop to so don't really want to return if he's not really an issue. Cheers Mark

almost all sigma handles, have the rear wheel, which runs on ball bearings,
(I checked today, my 3b2), on page 6 is specified, ball bearings large, may be, to handle the new XL series.

no, some are mono ball , or three balls

yes, handle 20mm for xl, it depends on the binary width 10/15/20 mm

maybe I'm wrong,
but I'm becoming a BATTIPAV man and do not know the sigma pieces

Hello guys,

The steel balls are from the bead blasting Sigma use to finnish the aluminium after the casting process. Sometimes they can get caught in small recesses in parts.

Just remove and discard them.
