Hi,
I am having some issues with my G0602. My cross slide is stiff when I begin to retract the tool (think larger radius).
I took the lead screw out of the cross slide and I can move it through the full range of motion with my hands with no problem, so I assume the gib adjustment is fine. If I loosen the backlash adjustment screw I am able to move the cross slide through the full range of motion, but there's a lot of slop when it gets back towards the center.
Maybe my lead screw is worn or the backlash adjustment is off? The machine is relatively new and not used very hard. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
