I appreciate the information. I did get in contact with sharp and their tech said the same thing.... maybe making a change in the parameter would help also.
I would like to check the machine gibbs though. (basically because I'm anal

Did you come across any problems with how they explained it in the manual? I have found that some explanations are pretty vague.
I did replace the tool clamp cylinder, pulled the belleville(sp) washers out and disassembled more than I needed to do so. (tool holders weren't releasing) A local machine builder had stopped by to pick up a table to be scraped and mentioned that after too long I'd be down to the leveling screws! LOL Matt
