When I run the table all the way to Xpos, where the X power feed is hanging as far away from the machine as possible, the table is dropping off. It is almost .002" all the way out. Also, the gear makes more noise and the handle is a little harder to turn as if the table is in a bind. When you stop the table, you can see the needle bouncing on the indicator. All the way Xneg (power feed closest to spindle), I only get a .0002" rise.
I chucked the indicator mounting rod in a collet and ran it back and forth several times and got the same results.
Is there any adjustment to take care of this or am I expecting too much on a machine of this size?
