Thanks but it is as tight as it can get without making the can get damaged during the seaming. My main issue is with adjusting the right roller. When I get it spaced correctly for the x gap and then try to tighten the nut, it moves the roller even closer to the chuck, normally causing it to...

I've had the exact problem and was told I needed to adjust the rollers. did you ever fix the problem?

I've had this machine for about a year and canned a few hundred cans on it but recently I started getting leaking cans. Spoke with Kegland and got the manual to adjust the rollers. However, no matter what I try I can't seem to get it right and can't find a video showing me how this should be...

Agreed, that is a much better design

No, I got it off Amazon (not Prime). It looks like they will replace it without me having to return the faulty unit, which is a big plus as I'd have to ship it to the US from here in Trinidad & Tobago and that would probably not make it worth it.
