Replaced the X and Y linear guides in my VF2 with the table and saddle still in the machine. A tech I am friends with told me he’s had to do it that way before. My forklift is down and couldn’t use it to remove those components.
Long story short got it done one side at a time. Now I’ve got a bow in the guides when indicating X on a T slot. Zero the indicator over a bearing pack, then move to the other one on opposite side of travel in X and it will zero there, but between it’s off 3-5 thousandths. Same result with granite square.
Has anyone had success squaring the linear guides in a machine with the table and saddle installed?
Thank you, Clayton
