Milling woes

2016-05-09 04:53:05.449255+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Argh. Frustrating weekend, currently have a spring and a rope tied to the CNC head and then to the rafters to pull it up, because we figured out that with the weight of the router, stiction was enough that the Z axis drive sometimes skipped on small steps. And probably on large ones, though we didn't catch it in the act when we were debugging it there's at least one piece of mangled brass that'd be explained by that. Need to build a more permanent spring solution.
