Yes, once I noticed the washers it was evident that the split nut wasn't lined up with the lead screw well at all. The Y-axis lead screw bracket was obviously bent, most likely from shipping damage. All I did was straighten it out; it just needed a little straightening. It sounds worse than it

Ok, I'll swap the rails then. I have the proper orientation with the score marks facing out already, so I'm banking on that back rail being the one that is tuned to the carriage. Who knows, my UPS box with the rails had lots of footprints on them. I might be seeing some issues from that

Hello group! After years of searching, I finally found a great deal on a 1200 with z-axis--about a week before Legacy announced their final production run deal, DOH! I've got a few issues and would appreciate some direction. The mill was practically rolled here in boxes by UPS halfway across the

Thanks for the advice. I've got a Carvewright, so I'm thinking that it can take care of the things a rotary table would be good for. If there's something I'm missing, please advise. I've got a new issue that may be normal, may be a problem. I took the Z-axis off and installed the missing depth
