In this tutorial I'll show you how to remove pasta machine fenders no problem. There's no need to disassemble your machine. Keep in mind that some machines might be different from mine. Mine are cheap machines from eBay. Please check that your machine's fenders are attached the same as mine before having at them with the pliers.

Very clever! Makes me wonder why I didn't think to just yank the fenders off with pliers! Good job Samantha!

MIND BLOWN! Just watched the video, and DID IT in less than 5 minutes! I've avoided taking the guards off because I thought I'd have to take the whole thing apart to do it. Nope! Easy Peasy!! Thanks for sharing!

Well, that took less than 5 minutes and it is so satisfying to now have a thoroughly clean pasta machine! Thank you, Samantha. I'd have never had the notion that those fenders could be removed.

I've discovered a couple of things I thought I'd share. The first comes from polymer clay artist, Yonat Dascalu. She puts a block of Fimo on the pasta machine to stop the clay expanding. One side of clay against the side of the pasta machine and the other butted-up against a block of Fimo. It works! The second comes from my own experiments. To clean my pasta machine, I put a babywipe through on the thickest setting a couple of times. Then I fold a good quality piece of kitchen paper and put that through a couple of times. It also works!

You are a genius! Paused the video and ran off to 'doctor' my machine immediately. What a difference! Thank you!!!!

HELPFUL! Thank you so very much, Samantha! Tips like this are needed for those of us who do clay and haven’t figured it all out yet! Ha! You are a wonderful teacher/instructor and you’ve helped so many clayers! Again, thank you for your willingness to share and help others. You are a gem!! Blessings to you!

most Marcado and Atlas machines have a screw on the side without the thickness

You have no idea how much this has helped me. I couldn’t seem to get it clean enough for my white to stay white. Now I can. Thank you so much and keep up with all your fabulous designs and tutorials.

Be aware when trying this with an Atlas. They are made with a stronger stainless steel and it doesnt bend easily. I still had to take the bottom and side off, not hard but just a bit more work. Still I've been meaning to take the fenders off and this gave me the push to do it. Now my machine is nice and clean. Thanks Samantha ❤

This was SOOOOO helpful. It took a bit of work to get the fender off but worth the effort. I cleaned out enough clay to make a bead core, ha ha, Thanks, Samantha

I removed the bottom fenders, a long time ago. I got so tired of old colors getting on my new clay. So I popped them off! Never thought of taking the top fenders off. Thank you, for all of your advice and helpful suggestions and tips. I love to watch all of your tutorials!

I had my husband do this about an hour ago. I have an Atlas 180. It is a game changer. I had so much clay stuck that I could have made a small skinner blend. And i cleaned my machine after every use and sometimes during use. Being able to get on the ledge, is so much better and you know its clean. Instead of just guessing. Thanks so much.

Thank You Samantha!! I don't use mine all the time, but I was getting the Gunk on my pieces of clay but with this video, my husband took off my fenders and I gave it a through cleaning...and it is in new working order...thanks so much for the tip...

Thank you! I followed your advice and it worked perfectly. And I found enough clay wedged under it to make three cabochons. No wonder I couldn’t keep it clean enough.

Wowwwwww! Thank you so much! I never would have thought to take those off! I've been running a dirty piece of white clay through before I used a light color clay. This took me about 20 minutes start to finish. So easy!

I watched this video in bed last night and couldn’t wait til this morning to do it. I did it. It’s is great! No more obstructing my view. I can see what’s happening with the clay now. Thanks so much.
