I guess the reliability of a mechanical device and no way to test for calibration, at least if you stayed within NDL range you could get away from square profiles.

Anyone ever use the Bend-O-Matic? What was your experience using it?

Scubatools sells them.

What was the training like before the BC? How did you do a drift dive and wait on the surface to be picked up?

Followed the manuals tuning procedure, verified all parts in place are correct. Replaced spring 3rd time, again adjusted the crazy tuning sleeve according to manual. Passes 2nd stage tuning procedures, but fails “test bench specifications” OE no greater than 1.5… no minimum given. Could the BC...

No, no. I have the poppet tool for whatever that’s worth. Tried another spring, went up .8, plus two shims… knob all the way in, close to 1.1. Breathe OK no diaphragm lever separation..

Two shims, very little help. Weird thing is when I adjust and raise the levers as high as I can with no leaks and good purge, if I move the adjuster a little bit It will violently FreeFlo and I’m not able to stop unless I turn the tank off. I noticed when this happens the lever drops.

I’ll install the shims I have them and test… Just frustrating why a fairly new regulator would need to be shimmed up.

I did replace with a kit and spring from… just found a nick in the seat. :oops: Northeast Scuba Supply Store

Yes, and with the diaphragm and cover in place, no leaks and I have good purge.

It did stopped leaking and the lever did drop.

interesting with the barrel in the case and no change to adjustments, it leaks violently.

Without diaphragm and cover in place?

I’m in the same boat with memory. Lol

Barrel fully charged and two adjustments below.

OK standby I’ll try that. Thanks

When I turn the tank on, you can hear the orifice move in place. The hose adjuster works, I can adjust the lever height. This is a friends regulator and not very old. She was on a trip and was free-flowing, so she had to borrow a reg set.

Knob seems to work fine. Pic shows nipple as far out as it will go. I replace the spring with new. Have plenty of purge can’t get it above .7.
