Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Knee for z-axis control?

I said I was done with this but, I just can't resist :-)

200 pounds on one end of the table and cranked all the way out? Thats really grasping for a negative result. I'd never do that to a mill. I think you have the ways lock and ways adjustment confused.

Move the table all the way forward, and then all the way to the right
or left, with a couple hundred pound load at the end, and see if the
table lock makes a difference.
