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.
From everything you said in this thread I have no doubt something went wrong with their CNC machine and there are probably an entire lot of turrets out there which are out of spec. This is not good!!!
