So this is where you all went. The "official" forum is dead!

Can someone write the procedure to adjust the x axis backlash with the split nuts? Shopmaster hasn't started shipping manuals with the Tri-Power yet. My backlash is so awful I can't even participate in the rocking table discussion.

I have acme screws.

Spencer,
I too would like to know how to adjust them. I wonder if the Eldorado has similar double acme nuts? I will ask John at Shoptask if nobody posts in the next few days.

The Eldorado nut is the same.

JT Says:

The nuts have a spring between them- if you loosen the clamp bolts, the
spring will push the nuts apart and make contact wwith the leading and
trailing edges of the nut- sometimes you must move the table a bit back and forth by hand to get them to seat.
