Bill, I need to recheck everything then, mine is not that smooth especially towards the tailstock end.  I will check out the video, thank you for the info.   Eric Sent from my iPad On Feb 8, 2023, at 8:24 PM, bulke...@mmnet.com.au wrote:  The first thing to check is when the both half nuts are disengaged and dyna-glide lubricated both saddles slide easily all the way in both directions they should not be tight one finger easy That takes all the strain off the half nuts and top hat slides and even the gears that is the best way to determine that your mill is most likely  assembled correct and working properly . always check this before starting any job this will greatly increase the life of all things made of Delrin on your mill. After a mount of time your mills slides will get tight even with cleaning dust builds up between the top hats where you can’t see and periodically will need clearing you can see me doing it on my revo mill here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m0FrK1EGFg&ab_channel=aussiman77181 in the middle of milling the wooden screw. it’s the same on regular mills the top hat rails are just on the side instead of on top they are cleaned the same way. So when you think your rails are clean and after it moves easy a small distance gets tight this is the problem.   Bill     From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Eric Gantner Sent: Thursday, 9 February 2023 10:40 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Eric 900   Bill,    Thanks, I will also take pictures of the whole mill.   Eric Gantner   On Wed, Feb 8, 2023 at 6:34 PM <bulke...@mmnet.com.au> wrote: From what I can see which is not all of the mill everything looks ok, before amazon ask the group someone might have a spare Spindle crank handle they could sell you Bill -----Original Message----- From: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Eric Gantner Sent: Thursday, 9 February 2023 9:38 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Eric 900 Good Evening Gents, I turned on 900 for the time today, big learning curve.  Come to find out I am missing a spindle shaft handle.  Pretty sure I  can order a handle from Amazon and make the hole bigger.  Please check out my pictures and please let me know if some is setup  incorrectly.  Thanks Eric Gantner -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
