Hello again,I have the X and Y axis now working.I do not have the home switches mounted yet.My Y axis has almost .001 backlash,and my X axis has none.I put an indicator on it and measured it.I was machining some air,and I thought that maybe I can mount a pen in the spindle,because my Z axis is disconnected for doing the installation.I made some circles on cardboard.Then after a while of playing,I decided to partially reassemble my Z axis,and put an endmill in it.I could not resist.I do not have the spindle locked,because that is apart,so I moved it up pretty high in the head,and then moved the head down to where it was just touching an aluminum plate I mounted on the table.I drew a circle on the computer,and manually downfed the spindle,and started the program.It then drew a perfect circle in aluminum.I was very happy.In the picture you can see my motor mounts,that I made,and the aluminum plate with the circle.Next I will tackle the Z axis.
