I have a Birmingham 14x40 but it's very similar to grizzly and others. The manual is ridiculous and I' m wondering what others experiences are adjusting the crossfeed nut for backlash. The nut has a small socket head set screw in the end away from the operator and I've just tighten
ed that until binding of the crossslide begins then backed off slightly. Is that the correct procedure? The problem seems to be that when I do that the backlash reduces but repeatibility of the position of the cross slide seems erratic. i measured all of this with a DI so that I can clearly see the results of my screwing around. Any ideas? Thx
