Hello everyone,
I have just acquired a 89 QT8. I see the carriage is out of alignment in the X axis. The turret is aligned with the spindle bore fine, but I can get .002" out if I sweep the face of the turret in a 2" span. That seems like a lot to me? It's out as if you crashed a drill into a part really hard and it twisted the carriage back. Now a drill will not be perpendicular?
Has anyone done a realignment to the carriage, I assume that I would need to access the bolts attached to the trucks riding on the linear ways? Do I just remove the X way covers to gain access? I do not have live tooling which should be easier, correct?
Thanks,
Nate
