Sherline Mill CNC Z-axis Backlash Adjustment Upgrade 4017Z

Description: Sherline Mill CNC Z-axis Backlash Adjustment Upgrade 4017Z Sherline Mill CNC Z-axis Backlash Adjustment Upgrade 4017Z Z-axis Backlash Adjustment Upgrade Sherline CNC-ready mills did not initially incorporate the Z-axis locking lever. It was felt the lock might accidentally be left engaged. This will cause problems with missed steps if a stepper motor were engaged. Addiitonally possibly damaging the machine or most certainly ruining the part. However, excess backlash is a particular problem on the Z-axis for certain 3D modeling and engraving applications. Especially where very subtle movements of the Z-axis are required. The normally recommended .003 to .005 of backlash was not acceptable in these instances. This modification to the Z-axis locking lever allows adjustable control over the Z-axis backlash. It also makes it possible to reduce it down to as little as .001. The new upgrade is easily installed, requiring no new holes. The saddle nut securing screw is removed and a longer one going through a hole in the locking plate replaces it. A pin on the end of the locking arm goes into a hole in the locking lever. Once the lever is positioned to the desired location removing as much backlash as is preferred, the thumbscrew is tightened, holding it in place. If you are replacing a worn out saddle nut on an older mill, this new system will upgrade the function of your machine at the same time. It can be used on both manual and CNC machines. Even if your saddle nut is not worn out, you might want to consider adding this feature to make locking the saddle easier and more positive.
