I have a Rong Fu mill and will shortly be adding a DRO to it so figured now is the time to sort its foibles out.
One thing that's always been a bit odd is that the X and Y wheels are always much tighter at one end of their extremes than at the other. That's consistent (right of the X is tighter, and forward on the Y) so hasn't changed.
I don't entirely understand backlash but what I will say is that if winding in one direction. and then reversing, there's no notable "slack/dead" space before it reverses - is that backlash?
Any thoughts on what would cause the tightness? I'm going to dismantle and clean as much of it as I can prior to getting into fitting the DRO so perhaps that might address it.
Ta!
