The 5/8-10 Acme tap was delivered & I was able to re-thread the Delrin nuts received from SDP-SI.
After running the tap through the two remaining nuts, the amount of chaff indicates to me that something was terribly wrong…..MFG & QC.
The support block was machined and the Y axis re-assembled. I installed a hand wheel and discovered the contribution that the linear rails & delrin nut makes in the smooth & effortless performance of the Axis. I then placed the X axis with motor installed (38 lbs) on the y axis
and repeated the movement with negligible difference…..Smooth!! Now I
can join the X & Y axis and see how things fit!!
Next comes some additional brackets & switches & the ENCO ULTRA Retrofit will be Ready to run!
