Gryphon Twister grinder won't pump water

by Nancy Rondeau
(Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)

I have a new grinder that I purchased approx 3 months ago and everytime I turn off the grinder I have to literally siphon the hose (by sucking the water through the hose and spitting the water out). I'm doing this 50 to sixty times a session. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Answer

Send an email to "Contact" at the Gryphon Corporation They should take care of the problem for you by either telling you what to do, or replacing a part. I've heard good reports about their customer service.

I have had this problem too, usually after it hasn't been used for a bit. You need to make sure your water or coolant level is high enough. If that doesn't work you should have a squeeze bottle that came with your grinder. You put that in the end of the tube. Good Luck!

I did email Gryphon and they answered promptly, which I was happy to see. Along with referring me back to their website they also emailed me links showing what I needed to do. I haven't had an opportunity to check it yet but will update next week...

With thanks, Nancy

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry

I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie

Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet

I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna
