Beginner could use some guidance in taking the play out of one of my axis. I completed the setup of my mill and was running some test code when I realized the gear on my Y axis had loosened up and backed out. When I tightened it back I was not able to take all the play out as it had been prior to. I guess I got lucky on initial setup. I can turn the gear/ballscrew from 12:00 to about 1:30 before the table will move. I tightened (way too tight) the preload on the ballscew and took most of it out but it is difficult to turn the axis by hand.
Thanks for any help,
Shepard
