Hi, I've been working on a Model 2006 R2 kit for a few years now and finally have it moving around. I'm setting it up to run with Mach3 and Rockcliff controller, but am having problems getting the X and Y axis to travel the whole span without stalling the motors.
I've seemed to have narrowed the problem down to my inaccurately made bearing supports. At one end of each axis, the motors will stall. I'm able to get the Y to get to the end by loosening the adjustment bolts and then snugging them down again, but it will be very sloppy at the opposite end. So should I just remake the bearing supports? Or, has someone found a way to compensate? Heh, obviously I had a hard time making the brackets in the first place.
Also, the X axis table has a slight twist to it. Looking eye level from one end to the other, one corner on the opposite side is higher than the others. The frame was glued together all straight, but must have warped when gluing the top and bottom skins. Can this be corrected by skimming a spoil board flat relative to the machine? Or, will i have to remove the top and bottom skins and reglue? Thanks for any help you can offer!
