Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Still, with these minilathes, even if my locks tilt the carriage slightly, it's still less error than if I let the carriage float or rattle.<BR/><BR/>NickNick Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09742551843387605596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181310435977891397.post-1022897912941284632009-03-05T11:09:00.000-05:002009-03-05T11:09:00.000-05:00Hi Nick, just thought I'd write you a quick note, Another way to lock the axis on the mini lathe is to drill and tap and hole another hole beside the gib adjusting screws and grind or mill a little "pocket" for it on the gib, this way you can leave the gibs kinda loose just using the adjustments more or less to keep it square and use your gib lock to add tension up into locking the axis altogether-this is how it is on all the manual mills I have ever worked with, and it works nice in this situation too. Putting the screws in the places you did might have a tendancy to tilt the carriage, slides, etc. probably not enough to really matter but just thought I'd let you know! Take care-nice mods~Katrinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12277764363155583257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181310435977891397.post-48954374079906879102008-11-13T18:20:00.000-05:002008-11-13T18:20:00.000-05:00I've figured out the Z-axis as well. Now my lathe makes the smoothest cuts!Nick Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09742551843387605596noreply@blogger.com
