BF7-41 (1999) Slider Adjustment
|
Hi All, I¡¯m replacing the slider bearings on my BF-741 saw/shaper. (While another person was operating it the bearing car migrated so far forward that the plastic housing snagged and snapped ? )
A whole new set of bearings and housings arrived. I gave all the surfaces good clean with acetone and reinstalled the table with the new bearings. (But no grease) Without adjusting the anything the table was very stiff. I methodically adjusted the set screws that open up the rails on the track. However I¡¯m finding that if I loosen the rail assembly sufficiently for good slider movement, there is slop when I lift up on the end of the table. If I tighten just enough to get the slop out it is VERY stiff. I know the Felder techs use a special car with a caliper built in to adjust the rails. Has ?anyone out there solved this problem?
