hello Green Button what happened to your cover ? pls, can you share a photo ?
i also have a problem with the cover on the Y lathe; okuma rep told me that some chips got there, but somehow i think that it was not well assembled from the factory, because it got wear extraordinary fast
i cleaned it once so far
also, since january, the noise and scratches have increased significant
it is only 3yrs, and is a mess : 2-3 days ago i have reached ocasionally 80% load during Z movement, and i intent to fix this sh**, and if i will fail, than i will ask for quote
i will try to do the surgery pretty soon, and if i will succed, than i will share my approach
kindly !
