Hmm, tested it on an old slide table we have lying around. I was making 1mm passes with a 4mm end mill in aluminum and ran into some vibration problems. I believe it is originating in the actual slider mechanism because it does not seem to be in very close tolerances with the head. I'm not sure if I can fix this problem, so the project may be scrapped. The bearings work fine and dont rattle, the frame doesnt mind the side load either, it is just that one place that is letting everything go.
I'm gonna take a look at it, but if I cant figure out a fix than I may just have to buy the SEIG X1, cause that is the only thing remotely in my price range.
