    Designer Series Gantry not sitting Square on side rails

    Hi
    Just purchased a 2002 designer series 2400 x 1200 table
    The gantry dosnt sit square on the side rails so not all bearings are touching at the same time. When i measure from the gantry to the end of the table there seemes to be around 4mm diference left to right . How do i rectify this

    Photographs of the machine and the structure/mounting arrangements of the gantry and table would go a long way in helping others help you :-)

    Use the "Advanced" setting of the Forum to attach photographs.

    Is the gantry bent? Is the table warped? Or is something in between grossly out of adjustment?
