I have never had that split nut problem probably because I have never had my saddles stiff
And yes you nearly always have to adjust the mill to get it sliding easaly, another thing to watch as you know curt Is a build-up of dust in between the top hats you have to remove one of them and slide the saddle out of the way to vacuum the trapped dust out. I must do a video on this some time.

I remember talking to Brian about this... The problem was the split nut would slip out of the acme screw while cutting. This has happened to me a few times in the early years of me using my Legacy, as well. There were a few problems that were not addressed at this time. For me the split nut, slipping was due more to the slides of the carriage being to hard to move, that and heavy cuts of the router at the same time that caused the split nut to pull out of the threads of the acme screw. but Brian's thoughts were at the time, to keep the slip nut locked into place on the screw by use of the pins. And it worked for him. For me I find that the slip nut slipping to be a safety measure of sorts. I have had a few (very few) mess ups in the past years, where the motor limit switch did not turn the motor off when the carriage hit its manual stop. at that time I was very glad to see, my machine did not tear its self apart when this happened. When the tork become to much, the slip nut dis-engaged saving my machine form damage. A funny part of this story happened, a few months after. When Mike Pung came over my shop, I told him of the problems that I was having. I told him I did everything that the book said to do. He then asked me it I have adjusted the carriage locking screws? I told him NO, the book said those were factory set, and I should NOT touch them. "Well" Mike said, let me try this, He loosened the screws and then re-tightened them back down, By re-adjusting those screws he removed a slight pinching of the slides that I had, The release of tension ,letting my carriage start moving the way it was meant to move. I didn't have any idea, on how much power it took to move my carriage, until after... YOU see some times something fails and it was not the part failing, that was the problem, but something else all together. ;-) Live and Learn. Have a good night. C.A.G.
