    You should post a splatter screen warning before doing that. I missed the monitor but now have coffee on the printer and wall.

    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    Yes Al, it's good to fasten the cables so they don't dangle around. But it's not done correctly. You have to drive the nail about 30mm into the motor, then bend it over the cable to keep it fixed. That way you don't short the cable wires.
    Or: use cable ties.

    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.

    I have a deck to build - where can I buy these interference spikes?
    would they be in the electrical department?
    maybe...

    Al,

    I guess you could say you have nailed the problem did it cause a hamering effect on the lead screw
