Hey all. My RF-31 hand wheels are somewhat difficult to turn. I don't think its the gib adjustment. I recently took the table off and cleaned and oiled the X&Y gibs. I also adjusted them just tight enough that the table doesn't move under cutting loads. My screw assemblies have some kind of thick grease on them and not an oil. Not sure if they're supposed to have grease. That definitely cant be helping. They turn ok but having watched videos of other people with the same mill they don't seem to have the same amount of force required to move theirs.
