Hey guys.
I converted my mill a year or so ago and have had this problem the whole time, and it is getting worse. My X-axis is only usable for about 6" from center in either direction when above 30ipm (used to be anything above 100ipm). Anything more than that and something is binding and stalling my stepper (570oz direct drive). I am using screws/nuts from linearmotionbearings2008 and used Hoss' DVD for the conversion.
Removing my vise from the table does not help, and I have messed with the gibs (tighten, loosen, curse at) with no improvement. I am specifically wondering if others have had this problem and if so, how you overcame it. I'll also take blind guesses, shots in the dark, etc.
Thanks
