    Sounds like it's binding. HAve you oiled the screw/nut?

    Hmm, I can definitely say that I have never oiled it. I figured its some sort of plastic piece so it would need it. Its from here: https://www.finelineautomation.com/p...ly?taxon_id=39

    Wouldn't binding make it lose steps, not gain them and plunge into the table? Or is the binding making it skip teeth and drop?
