KatieC724 Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hello! My fellow potters in the local studio and I are looking for images of the Brent SR20 slab roller. Ours recently broke, we purchased cables, nuts and bolts from a local hardware store but we cannot figure out how to get it back to rolling the correct way. The cables broke in several parts and were all messed up when we took it apart therefore we were unable to get a good idea of how it was together in the first place. We're hoping for some pictures of the pulley system. We appreciate any help/pictures provided. Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Call Amaco/Brent for instructions-they can e-mail them to you I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Dean Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 This might help - here's a link to the manual https://s3.amazonaws.com/amacobrent/section_images/attachments/5353/original_Brent_slab_rollers_manual.pdf?148364584 -SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieC724 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 We have the manual. We spent about 3 hours last night trying to put it back together off that picture with absolutely no luck. Just called Amaco and the technical support team is in a meeting. Guess I will try that route again but honestly just looking for photos and videos right now, that seems like the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Amaco has manuals for replacing the cables. Did you just remove cables, or have you taken apart the entire roller assembly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I have strung a few up decades ago-that drawing is all you need-pay close attention to the cable lays. It may take a few tries and then getting the tension right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted September 6, 2017 Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Part of the problem may be that you're not using Brent cables. They are the correct length to allow for proper installation and tightening. I've done several of these in the last couple years, and I can't imagine trying to get it right using anything but the factory cables. A cable set from Brent is pretty cheap.

KatieC724 Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 I was able to fix it by pure blind luck. The hardware store cables are identical to the Brent cables that came off it.. I have to get some slack out and train the cables to wrap correctly but all in all the slab roller is fixed. I will try to attatch photos for the next person who has a broken slab roller and no clue how to fix it and all they need is a picture or two.
