Hi All
I borrowed digital calipers from a friend, carbon (plastic ones) quite cheap. So the readings ware not accurate a bit of pressure on the calipers and the reading was moving .4 of a mill. How ever I did calibrate the Z axis again with my analog calipers and the machine is stopping above the stock some where between a single piece of paper but less then two pieces of paper.
Considering that I don't have a flattened sacrificial table and the stock my not be flat, it might be spot on once I a flatten a sacrificial table and have flat stock at least on the bottom side.
In mean while I spoke with some one who is an expert, I might have a problem with the coupling if the the problem is persistent. I check the coupling the set screws are tight. would be nice if any one could point out any other mechanical issue that might be present just so I can rule that out of the equation.
Thanks in advance
