It's a nice looking machine, nice size. I like the wheels, but is there a way to level it? I have no experience with this type of machine, but the distance between the fore and aft bearing blocks on the right and left carriages looks to be about a foot. I would like to see that be allot longer or go to a belt or rack and pinion that drives and synchronizes both sides. I'd be tempted to disconnect the lead screw nut, get underneath the table and move the gantry by hand at the planned speeds and accelerations to get a feel for the force it would take and check for binding. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
