While getting started with working on my new CNC machine I discovered it had a big problem! Lots and lots of lost motion (backlash) in the Z axis. In this video I show how I went about diagnosing and fixing the problem!
I also talk about what a ballscrew is, what the basic axis of a CNC machine looks like, and lots of little tips and tricks that make working on a machine like this safer and easier!
If you have any questions or suggestions please feel free to let me know in the comments! If you learned something from this video and would like to help me make more like it, please consider becoming a Patron:
