OK, my first post on this forum ... and it might be a stupid one !
I just recevied my new X2 mill a few days ago.
When I turned it on for some testing I noticed that the drawbar nut was rotating eccentric, see video. Is this normal? It seems that the drawbar originally was tightened up quite firm. When I re-tightened the drawbar (a bit less) it was rotating much more centric. How much should the drawbar acctually by tightened? The spindle seems to be rotating just fine, but you will see that the spindle face is not 100% flat. I have allready ordered a Tormach tooling system for the X2, so I will be using that on my new machine. Which also means that I have to fix the spindle face.

Sorry for this. Thanks.
