Leadscrew Backlash; Digital Readout Unit Battery Replacement - Grizzly G0704 Owner's Manual

Leadscrew backlash

When you turn the handwheels to adjust the posi-
tion of the table, you will notice slight play (back-
lash) in the handwheel before the table begins to
move. if this play is greater than 0.008" (measured
with the dial at the base of each handwheel), then
you will need to adjust the leadscrew nuts.
to reach the adjustment screws on the leadscrew
nut, you may have to fabricate extensions for
your hex wrenches. When adjusting, make adjust-
ments in small increments. attempting to reduce
backlash to less than 0.003" is impractical and
will add unnecessary wear to both the leadscrews
and the leadscrew nuts.
To adjust the X-axis leadscrew:
1.
locate the X-axis leadscrew nut under the
middle of the table. the head on the adjust-
ment screws face to the right (figure 58).
figure 58. X-axis leadscrew adjusters.
2.
tighten the adjustment screws.
3.
test the adjustment by turning one of the
longitudinal handwheels. the ideal amount
of play when properly adjusted is 0.003"–
0.006".

described for the X-axis leadscrew adjust-
ment.
3. test the adjustment by turning one of the
cross handwheels. the ideal amount of play
when properly adjusted is 0.003"–0.006".
