New Schaller Washers--CAUTION
Maybe this topic has already been posted, but it's new to me. I just received a new set of chrome M6 Schallers. I assumed they were the same as all that I've used before, so I drilled 5/16" holes to recieve the threaded bushings, then reamed out the backsides to 10mm to accommodate the tuners. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the new M6 beveled washers have flanges (10mm O.D.) the same diameter as the "shaft" on the tuner body.
This was probably done to allow the builder to drill the 10mm hole completely through the peghead and still counteract the stress on the tuner shaft. I just wish I had known ahead of time. I already contacted the sales folks at LMI and let them know. Just another lesson for me; never assume anything.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I found this on the Schaller website: https://schaller.info/en/info-m6-series/ If you scroll down on that webpage you'll find a photo of their new "step-washer" that you are talking about. Smart.....I like it! Tommy |

Seems like a long over due modification to cast tuner design...

I agree that it's a great idea. Eliminates the stress on the tuner shaft with the need to create a stepped down hole.
