X3 X axis binds when gibs tightened | |
I have recently run into a problem with my x axis on my x3. To reduce chatter and to improve surface finish I was told that it is a good idea to tighten down my gibs. The z axis tightened down quite a bit which has helped immensely with chatter when plunge cutting. However, when i tightened down my x axis it would cause the stepper motor to stall. I am using one of the multi-hex wrenches where they all turn out of a handle. If I back off just 1 or 2 degrees it will run fine. Am I just tightening down too MUCH? Is there something else I can do so I can tighten a little further and still have it run smoothly. Thx |
