Been fighting the Y-axis for weeks trying to get it to go in without "crunching" when turning the ballscrew to move the saddle Last weekend I took it all apart to start over. Had the saddle off and started turning the Y-Axis ballscrew only to find that it is bent! That explains a lot.
I emailed CNCFusion, several times now, and can't get a response. As I recall, it took weeks to get the kit in the first place. Since it appears CNCFusion isn't reliable, and I can't use the machine in its current condition, I need to source a new Y-Axis elsewhere.
I assume any attempt to straighten the ballscrew would be a waste of time?
It's a thompson 5/8 .2 pitch ballscrew. Anyone?
Thank you,
Roger
