You should find a small hole on the righthand side of the head where you access a grub screw which prevents the head coming off. It engages with the boss that the head swivels on. Sometimes there are 2 grub screws!

Thanks Hugh,

I did spot the small lug with what looks like a fine rotation adjustment screw. Do I just need to remove that part completely? Pic here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kaHnW7fSzF-_j4ATn6nqzqtKp06ijsLb/view?usp=sharing

I can't see any others. There's a thread at the bottom as you can see in the pic but it looks unused.

Cheers, Gareth

It's the small whole at the bottom with the grub screw deep within - not visible from the outside and requires the right size Allen key to remove (trial and error!)

Ahh, brill. I'll go and give that a go. Thanks Hugh.

Hi,

I've just bought the Chester version of this mill. The Champion 20VS. I'm trying to do an initial strip and clean. I'm struggling to get the head off. I've undone the 2 bolts that hold it in place and stop it rotating. I can fully rotate the head but I can't seem to actually pull it off. I don't want to just apply brute force in case I damage something. Any advice?

Cheers, Gareth
