wondering if starting a thread here or in the seig form makes more sense since the G0836 is the same as the seig x2.7 and very close to the sx2.7/LMS 5500
A few topics I want to cover
1. my spindle lock design
2. issues with X gib lock and fixes (i made a new knob)
3. issues with vibration and the quill lock
I'll start with #3. Oddly when I lock the quill i get crazy vibration when trying to cut more than 0.2mm steel. Unlocking the quill makes the machine run great but the cutter can pull the quill down and I have to keep a close eye on the quill DRO. Anyone else experience this?
