I have spent hours trying to get the carriages to roll smoothly the full length of the X (long) axis. This is a kit I purchased from FLA.
I believe the problem is that the carriages are not square to the rails and the only thing I can find about squaring them is the following on the web site:
"To square up the two carriages, it is recommended to clamp a square to the rail and then clamp both carriages to the rail and square before tightening their connections to the extrusion running between them"
I am having a hard time understanding the above statement and hope that someone who has built these type of machines can help me to understand the process of squaring the carriages and making them run smoothly. I know that these things work, hundreds of machines use them but they sure can be a pain to line up properly.
Thanks to all who try to help and Happy Holidays to all!
