Aaaaakshoooly, I will never be much more than a flea on a Machinist’s, Dog’s, Ass, no matter how long I fool around with this stuff.

But it keeps me out of the taverns.

While the Wifely Unit and her Fam watch Sportsball today, I am going out in the garage and try to adjust 3/4’s of a complete turn of Back Lash out of the Cross Slide on my little Smithy 3 in 1 Combo machine.

I was out playing with it yesterday and Bad Things Happened.

I was well aware of the Backlash issue but didn’t put two and two together.

I sent a link to the video to Irish and he was kind enough to call me and ask me if the table had moved and if there was a bunch of Back Lash in it.

The proverbial AHA moment ensued.

Fuckin’ Rookie Mistakes.

I Haz ‘Em.

So now I have to dig around and find the video I watched a while back that explains how to adjust that slop out.

I did it once a long time ago but I obviously need to do it again.

It won’t take long because I was at least smart enough to save that video on Youtube.

Then I have some T Nuts that just got delivered to skin down a bit so that I can finish the project that started all this.

Getting the Y Axis DRO mounted….
