Hi TickyRicky, now that you mention it, I never measured it before or after, so I dont know! On the other hand the old bearings felt "rough" when turned by hand, and the new ones smoother....so I guess they are better? For that matter, we didnt clean the machine when we received it, and its done very little work (it's a hobby) so cleaning off the old oily/waxy goo has improved things too. Im not sure if Im imagining it, but it seems to me that the head is very clightly crooked on the vertical pillar. So it seems to mill more with the left hand side of the cutter than on the right looking at it from the front. Does yours do this too? |
