Drywall flat boxes- Solutions!

Flat boxes (or flat finishers as some call them) are a tremendous time saver if they are running properly.
A couple issues we see with flat boxes are that they leave "edges" or are not putting enough mud compound on the seams.
If your box(es) are edging, many times a quick 1/4 turn clockwise (tightening) of the blade adjusting screws will re-position the blade to again give you a good finish. If you have already done that and your box is still not finishing properly, it might be time for a new blade. CD manuals with complete instructions are available on our two websites www.tapingtools.com or www.tipsfromthetooldr.com
If the box is not putting enough mud compound on the seams, that could be caused by storing the box too long with tension set on the dial adjuster and reducing the "crown" of the blade holder. Grab the top of the box, pulling back a couple times on the blade holder to re-apply some crown to the blade.
