WTF

[Braeden P]

Working on the sg today and the column only moves back and forth 3 inches and it should move 6!

Sometimes, that's how it goes.

I'm thinking it needs some fixing ---

Braeden,

I feel your pain, but unfortunately have no advice.

I am glad the project is in your hands, it is worth saving and you have the smarts and tenacity to figure it out!

God knows I’m ignorant to the 4th decimal point but could the problem be something under the table locking the screw. WAG on my part.

 

[FOMOGO]

Sounds like something is HALF a**ed there. Time to pull the table, and take a look see. Bent screw maybe. Mike

 

[Braeden P]

I think the screw is to short so I will have to pull the table and loosen some bolts that are rusted and covered in paint!

Many SGs have stops on both the X axis and Y axis. Check for these before tearing it down. Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Bob

I would guess you have not found the stop that is stopping the movement.

now when I get home time to get covered in grease and goo that covers that machine! and that stuff stinks!
