Other than that I can not understand it without seeing it. Sound like the turret is out of spec. But they sent you other ones so something is very odd. As you said call them while you are at the press. Be sure to ask for a Technician (in the shop area)

My original turrets work fine, they spin/rotate while in the press, I put in the new one's into the press (these turrets slide/fit into the top of the press with no problem) but they will not rotate without a pry bar. The spring loaded roller bearing works fine. It maybe hard to believe but these new turrets would not turn even oiled, I have four other quick change turrets and I am swapping them out all the time no problem! Using the large screw driver as a lever I was able to rotate the turrets, this created quite a few metal shavings. With some effort I can now rotate with my hand, it will work now but not nearly as good as the old turrets.
