    Re: Bridgeport 1000 vmc retrofit with y axis surface finish issues

    Here's a video... i readjusted the gibs then did the test. The indicator is on the y saddle and I'm prying againt the bearing block. The issue im having is that the ball screw is slightly moving when i pry. The servo fights the movement and for the most part goes back to the original position. Do the gibs need to be locked up to check the movement in the ballscrew? At the end of the video the servo faults out because of to much force.

    Here's the video.

    So maybe change a bigger torque motor will help.
