HELP !!! Proxxon MF 70 Mill

[stuglo]

A few days ago, I noticed some 1mm play (vertically) between the Main Housing and Z Pillar.
? diagnosis and treatment I can try a home.
I use it daily, and don't want to send it for repair.

You mean the backlash of the adjustment?

See here the adjustment of the guide if that is what you mean.



In the handwheels you will allways have some play which is normal.

PS - if the adjustment screw are (too?) tight, this results in play in the handwheel.

This is because the plastic cap (18) that holds the wheel is dented. There is backlash on that axle anyway.
