From Horner?
It would be reconditioned and ready to go.
I think you've buggered the job for what was just blunt comb/cutter

Put it back together.
Get the ball back onto the pin within the barrel first. Flat side towards the back cogs. You can use a screw driver. With the ball at the bottom of it's rotation, twist the back cogs to move it down. Hook the fork body over the ball. Pull the tension pin out of the fork first as it's still in or you've stuck it back in. There should be a screw some where you've taken out that held the fork body in? (Designs differ between brands). Tension pin back down the tension knob. The right way. Fill tension cup with some grease. Clean threads on tension knob and replace tension knob.
Grind combs and cutters and cross fingers.
And put some oil in the big screw in the side of the barrel by the cogs.

Tighten it back up quietly then. hopefully you haven't adjusted anything. If the centre screw is in line with where it was originally you'll be ok if you tighten up the nut.oops ?.....actually i've undone the nut but not touched the screw

A dab of grease on the ball helps hold it until you get it positioned on its pin.

In that case, if getting it back together and sharpen of your kit doesn't get it working, sending it to Horner or someone similar local to you for a once over/service may not be a bad idea

As an aside... you any idea where to get the setting gauge for Lister handpiece?
You get heiniger and supershear ones no bother, but I can't find lister. Would a supershear do, seeing as they are the same company? (it's tallygrip handpieces I have)

That pin should have a round top. They wear on the back edge(cogs side) so when you put it back together make sure the worn side is at the back . You should be able to set the depth by the colour difference on the screw to where it was originally. It'll be close enough for you. If you can see wear, maybe mark it with a felt tip so when it's in you can line it up with the front?

Afraid not, have you tried ringing Lister? Super shear would be the closest. I have my dad's from the 1960's somewhere

You would do well in bomb disposal.
"You see the green wire and the red wire?"
"Yes"
"Then cut the red one"
Muffled noise then a long pause..
"You already cut the green one didn't you?"

I've had weird cutting problems caused by the chicken feet gone stiff in the pivots, they should move freely

Supershear gauge looks very similar to the Lister one (just found a company in Australia selling Lister one). Heiniger gauge seems pretty fool proof...
Just thought if I had a gauge I'd be more inclined to service the handpiece more often, as replacing the post and cups is very easy and service kits are cheap
