Well, I shimmed the motor mounts and it helped quite a bit on the Z axis and maybe a little on the Y axis...I still think there is a mis-alignment issue between the Y axis screw and rails.
I have started the process of making a new Z carriage and have also begun the CAD work to build a smaller version of the router to make use of the ballscrews that I have...they are too short for a full scale Joe's 2006 model (X 40.875" w/ 36.75" travel, Y 40.375" w/ 36.25" travel, Z 13.625" w/ 9.5" travel...although, travel does not count the ballnut length which is approximately 2"). The screws were for my first ever router...long sad story.
Question, and I know it has been asked elsewhere...but what vendors would anyone recommend for 0.125" and 0.25" ball end mills? I would prefer US manufactured.
Thanks,
Elmo |
