Hello Brandon
I am sorry to say it takes a lot of fussing with, You need to have a happy
medium between the two worlds, (stability & mobility.) My 1000ex tends to be
on the stability side of things, It slides well but there is still a small
friction factor,but it moves very well with a few squirts of Dyna-Glide. I
think its the nature of the beast. But having said that, I don't need to use
Dyna- Glide all the time to keep things moving. just every so often. But as
I said earlier, temperature dose effect the alum. rail. I tend to use more
D/G in the winter than what I use in the spring and summer.
I see Bill chimed on in, asking if there was a non-aerosol version of
Dyna-Glide yet. I've seen it on the web. but not first hand yet. But I'm
looking Bill. ;-)
Brandon I think that the "T" shaped glides are better than the top hat ones.
for stability.and ease of alignment. but that's just me. from what I've seen
the top hat ones, seem to move freer.
Dose anyone out there have first hand experience for both types of glides?
I have the "T" down, but only have touched the "top hat" ones once. so I
cant judge the two. To me its apples and oranges.
Good luck with your alignment problems, But know I too have had problems
with screws loosening and falling out of the frame.
"O"Great now what happened? Was it me, or the machine this time? Drat!!
It sure is a learning curve, even for the old-timers.
Dont take anything for granted, I check all bolts on my Legacy at least once
a month, Just to be safe. ;-)
have a good night.
C.A.G.

Subject: RE: Rail lubricant
Hey Curtis,
I have already taken apart the sled and squared it up, which helped
tremendously. I think my issue now is that the long rails are slightly out
of parallel. I also discovered that on the tail end, one of the elevator
pivots is coming loose. That is what caused the initial twisting of the
rails. Hopefully, once I fix that it will be better. But I may have to check
that they are parallel over the full run. We've talked a bit about this
before, but when I disassembled the sled and put it back together, I snugged
that "T" glide over against the rail to prevent twisting of the sled. In
doing so, I created a lot of friction. There will always be some give and
take in that respect. You can make the sled very secure with little to no
unwanted motion, but it will make the sled difficult to slide. Likewise, I
can invite slight movement of the sled to free up ease of motion, but it
will allow some inaccuracies when cutting. I just haven't had the time to do
a proper setup. But, I can say that the silicone lubricant I got from work
made a huge difference. I can also say that my sled still doesn't slide as
easily as, it appears it should, in the Legacy videos on their website.
