Hello fellow ShopSabres,

I was wondering if anyone else has been experiencing the same problem I have. I haven't had a consistent Z-axis since we have owned the machine.

My manufacturing involves a lot of precision depths, so this is a crippling problem for me. I was on the phone with Ben for a couple hours last week and we thought the problem was with the tool touch off pad, but now I know there's something else going on here.

For example:
I will bring the bit down the the table and set the Z at the surface. Later, when I bring the same bit back down to the same spot, it will be up to 0.030" off. It's the same problem with all 10 tools.

I'm thinking now that it must be some problem with the hardware. Or could it be my air supply?

This inconsistency is always changing and is unpredictable. The ShopSabre guys seem as stumped as I am. Haven't been able to make any progress with this problem yet and it's really hurting my business.

Has anyone else had to deal with this? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks again,

Nick
