shaywood Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Been using Flipper Max on my 450 for the past four plus years. over the course of the last year it has started making a scraping noise when I clean the glass(see video). Doesn't appear to scratch anything. I replaced the stainless steel blade, but it still makes the noise. Any suggestions or other people having same problem? Can the blade be lubricated to reduce friction?Flipper Max Noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danik Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I use the same magnet, maybe switch out the blade? On the other hand it’s squeaky clean 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Thats an awful sound have not had that happen with mine. I can see why you are concerned it sounds like it is scratching the glass. I am always leery of razor blades. The Tunze has a nice plastic blade with a finger pinching powerful magnet. I tried to cross reference and got excited but it was only your post on reef2reef 😳. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danlu_gt Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I bet the the sound is coming from the dry side. I doubt the sound would be so crisp when muffled in water. Maybe time to change the felt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Good point. Thinking the same thing, I had been putting some napkins under the felt but it still made the same noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaywood Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Wrote the Flipper folks. Very responsive and helpful! Thinking maybe the small white balls on the inside piece are the culprit. Great Service! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
