1/4” away?! What is the point of having them if they are that far from contacting the rail? On my GS I have them just touching so as the gantry moves if I place my finger on the bearing it stops rolling. I’m no expert and still learning but this 1/4” seems odd to me!
I had the same issue with my GS. I detached the lead screw mount so I was able to test the tension on all the bearings across the gantry. The adjustments are a bit archaic but well worth spending time on and getting right.
I have a Lincoln Square Wave 200 tig, and a Hobart Ironman 230 mig with spool gun. Both are great machines and serve me well. Both are in your price range.
Yeah steel is ridiculous. I just did a steel roof on a property of mine. 35% hike in price from the last time I bought from them (which was last year). I asked why it went up if the tariffs were not in effect? They told me it was due to everbody anticipating the 25% hike and causing a shortage...
Still no luck. And actually none of them have any drawing on them - all blank. What I am trying to get is a 1:1 print out of this part to use as a template as it needs to have a welded section.
