I posted a problem I am having with my 24TT last week refering to the low power / weak engraving on the left side of the table. I would have thought that it would have been better there as the laserr beam will not have diverged so far. Checked mirror alignment and all was spot on. Tonight I noticed that when I moved the table it doesn't move the same when near to its highest level. Lowering it a bit and the right hand side would go down the left was binding. Moving the table to the mid position I could "lift"each side 1/32 or so taking up the backlash in the rack and pinion and it would then drop under its own weight to take up the backlash.
At the top the left side was tight and would only go down with a push. Right side OK.
I moved the table down to near the bottom grabbed the table on the left hand side and moved it front to back. It moved about 1/16 " in the track. The righthand side there was no perceptable movement.
Clearly the track for the table is not parallel and its binding at the top. Does any one know the easy way to adjust please?
It may solve the original lasering problem.
Thanks Pete T
