While I was indicating my vice on my new Grizzly G0704 mill, I notice that while I was moving the table in the X axis the test indicator showed a Y axis shift of 1/2 a thou to a full thou per revolution of the lead screw?

Is this to be expected? or do I need to adjust something?

Thanks from a noob!

If it is that new, you may want to tighten the GIB screws up a little.
Tighten enough to still let it move freely without binding.
Mine were loose like that also. Just tightened them up and all was good.

I just remembered that I had not tighten the Y axis locks; securing them helped a bit. I will play with the X axis gibs and see what effect that has.


Thanks
