Re: X axis adjustment

Loosen the gantry mounting screws to have them just snug, press the side frames of the gantry down. Re-check. You may have to equalize by bringing one side up and the other side down.

Re: Junk posts

The Logitech product I found doesn't include the directional arrows. If someone finds one with the arrows please post the product number. Thank you. BTW I'm (reasonably) sure someone posted a picture with a Joystick as part of the set up here on the forum. OK found it: http://www.cncsharktalk.com/vi...

Re: Control Box

Hi Eric,

No fans in the new control box! There's an on-off switch, is it on? Any of the LEDs lit when the switch is on?
