Then, if they are all off by 1mm, I'd guess that possibly your machine is flexing. Try cutting one square...

Hi Luc
I have encountered no major problems with the igus rails so far exept that they were a bit over kill on specs for my machine. The smaller round rails would have been sufficient

I have now done what you have suggested. It was not a consistant error and much to my surprise it was not perfectly square! I ajusted the bit diameter to suit and reset the alignment. The error is...

Eureka!

1. bobcad hobby pro v17 + mach 2 =$444

meshcam $100.00
mach 2 $149.00 = $399

thanks

Is it wise to cut or drill and tap threads into a 1/2" Hardened precision chrome plated steel shaft. The one I purchased is flexing too much. Or maybe somebody has a genius idea as to how to support...

Good advice has been given and I am eternally grateful that I followed it. Just finished my starter machine. I will be cannibalising it for my new and improved design. It is much cheaper to start...
