A fix for z-axis backlash on TAIG mills | |
Origionally I assumed that z-axis backlash on my TAIG mill was at the nut. I took the head assembly apart and realized this was not true! The Z-axis endplate (red square in the pic) was not "tight" to the screw assembly which left .011 backlash on the Z. I took the nut off the screw assembly (red circle in the pic) and lightly tapped down a few times with a hammer and re-tightened the nut. Probably a no-brainer to alot of you but this was a source for many problems to me. |
