I've got a G0704. There is quite a bit of backlash in the X direction. About .060". I have tightened the two screws on the nut thingy under the table per the manual. They were loose but now are as tight as I could make them. Still about the same amount of backlash.
I also noticed that the nut is rocking about 45 degrees back and forth when I change directions on the table. Is that expected? I took off the table when I received the mill, possibly I put it back together wrong? The nut is oriented like I see in the manual's exploded diagram.
What should I do? Thanks guys!
