Oh my gosh!!! Without this video, I would have been in tears and would have given up! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I love that you jump in and film and allow your viewers to see “everything!” There is so much learning here. We need to see a realistic process, not a practiced, edited, and perfect demo…. For example, I watched a “how to” on caulking around a tub, and I was just sure it was going to be a piece of cake, after all the presenter made it look that way, WELL…. NO! BIG MESS! 😂. Thank you for being authentic. 💚
You are amazing!!! I just took my machine apart and could not get it back together until I saw your video!!!! Thank you
Great video. So many are afraid to take their appliances apart for cleaning or repairs. One trick I learned replacing washing machine parts, is that if you are worried about replacing your parts in the correct sequence take photos at each stage.
Update! I took it apart last night, cleaned it out, and put it back together. It is very finicky to put back together if you want to put the shields back on but thanks to your video I was able to do it. It is so buttery smooth and quiet, so much better than my Sculpey clay machine! Thank you again!!!
Thank you -watching was edifying. You are a natural teacher!
This was so useful. I recently bought a second hand Atlas pasta machine and it leaves some streaks, so I've been thinking I need to clean it. This video came out at just the right time. I'm going to leave off the shields too, good idea. Some good tips again in your video, cheers! 🤗😊
Fantastic tutorial! You gave me the confidence to take my Atlas 150 apart for cleaning. Left the fenders off, too.
Thank you! You made it look so easy !
Hey Katie! Thanks sooo much for this video! - I never took my machine apart- and this made my life so much easier! And YES- as a veteran Dental Assistant 40 + years- (YIKES) we know how to these thinks- easy surgery right! ? LOL :) Hugs from Israel! Love your videos!
Thank you so much for sharing. I need to clean mine but have been nervous to. Now I’m not so nervous ☺️ thank you again
Thank you for removing the fear !😊
You have helped me more than you know, THANK YOU
Thank you very much for the video, you helped me repair my pasta machine. Take care of yourself. You helped save my money 💰
Thank you!!! I needed that.
It should work without those 2 shield things underneath that collect all the clay under the rollers that eventually gets all clogged and make it necessary to take the machine apart & clean the buildup of clay from the underbelly of the rollers, or do they need to be reinstalled on the rollers so it works properly cause I honestly feel like taking them out so I can rid the rollers of ever needing a cleaning like that again down the road in the future lol thanks for posting this video it was very helpful with what I needed to know and will update this post if there's any difference to the machine without the shields installed and whether or not it's worth removing in the first place ☺
I don't notice a difference w or wo the shields
Wow Katie you truly are amazing not many people would do a video showing how to clean the machine as you have done here. Can I make a suggestion for next time you clean it, if you have another white container pop the dial in it, I mean whilst it's attached and balance it end up on top, it might help to undo the screws etc
Many Clayers aren't putting the guards on. They are not necessary and it is easier to clean without them. Great job, I am currently researching as I am getting a new machine, so thanks.
Thanks heaps, had bent blades and was able to fix them with your help
Well I'm glad it helped
Bless you, my child. You answered the biggest question in the universe: how to get those long screws back in place so you can put the bolts on. I dub thee "Dame Katie Gordon".
Thank you Katie :-) I keep thinking of screwing my machine to another board so I don't have to use a clamp.
¡Not afraid of do things! I admire this. Thanks you, and greetings from Chile.
Amazing. Intimidating but amazing.
Thanks for your good video , my machine is clean again 🙂, I am very happy
Thank you so very very much for this video Katie. You helped me decide to even buy one of these machines today. I was super worried about breaking the machine if I ever tried to clean it. I bought a used one that was clearly used for pasta even though it was advertised to me as new. So crossing my fingers I can get it nice and pristine 🤞🏼 If I do then it was a great deal.
Fantastic video. Thank you! Mine now squeaks super annoyingly loud when I use the hand crank. Any advice?
Sorry, no idea
I wonder if you could please tell me what to do about very loud squeaking when we use the machine. I've taken it apart, but don't want to put it back together again until I've fixed the squeak!. Thanks for the great vid!
No clue i have not fixed a squeek yet so not sure what to do
Thanks for sharing..
Okay FYI everybody you do not have to use a torque wrench to use the torque bit, they will fit in any screwdriver that allows you to change bits (all in one) . IE from a flathead (-) to a Phillips (*). I personally have a all in one screwdriver that works like a torque wrench but much easier to use and fits in tighter spaces cuz it doesn't have a long handle like the one she's useing. But if you need the extra leverage then you can use the torque wrench.
Hi, do you have any idea why the crank might be affecting the width knob? As I rotate the crank, the knob is also rotating. It seems like this might be due the calibration of the gears being off, but am not sure what the right fix is. Thanks for the video and in advance for any insight.
No clue that's why I tried to avoid the gear end on mine not really crazy familiar with how they work maybe call the company and see if they could help u
Did you figure this out @Jiwoo? I have the same problem
Awesome video! One question: the blades, are they plastic? Won’t the clay “melt” them? I have a cheap pasta machine with plastic blades and the they have already been damaged in just a few months :/
Many people use the atlas certain types of plastic react to pc some don't I've never seen it on mine in 2 yrs I've had it. They r metal w like a plastic sheath
@@katiegordon610 okay, so this seems to be the kind of plastic that works with clay, thank you :)
Did you clean this way every time you use the machine? Thanks for answer.
No as I said I only do this every 6 months or so I think at the time i made this video i said i had bought it about 6 months before so it was time to clean it out
@@katiegordon610 I also had the Atlas 150. The two eight inch X 1/4" bolts with tube sleeves, try fitting heat shrink to the both the bolts on the inside of the sleeves or maybe a rubber band wrapped around. As long as you can get the sleeve tubes to slip back into position ready to take the nuts. Something simply to keep the sleeve in place when fitted back in position. It saves having to fish for the bolt, come time to you need to replace the nuts. I hope you can understand. It is a great saver in time and frustration. Heat shrink is available in various lengths, diameter and colors. As the name implies, once in place, hear with a heat gun or hairdryer. My husband was the problem and had the solution for me.
How do fully reassemble the attachment that cuts spaghetti and linguine??? :/ I had to clean it for religious reasons and it’s is currently fully dissembled.
No clue dont use that part at all for clay work
@@katiegordon610 figured it out; but man was it a pain in the bottom.
it is the thickness knob side I would like to know how to open :/
I did not want to mess with that side for fear of messing up the settings. All I wanted to do was to clean the junk out of the blades I have never removed the dile nor do I plan on doing it if u want to not sure I can be of any help for that
@@katiegordon610 Thank you very much forthe reply ! Yeah my machine broke a bit and I need to open this part to try and fix it...
You need more fingers to embrace the parts as to put them together, good video, thanks
That's Italian engineering for you. They make pretty machines but they don't think things through and make it easy to service. Awesome video btw.
Question: why?
a lot of clay builds up inside as you can see just from the 8 months i have had this machine esp if you watch when I get it apart the layer in the blades. I asked my FB group if they would like me to show them this and they said yes so I did
The base screws are actually T20. You’re welcome from a motorcycle mechanic
Ufff! If I put mine apart, I will end up connecting the garden hose to it, the handle to the sink and the screws in my polyclay jewelry!!!! My Dear Lord! Can I just throw it in the dishwasher!!!!
