Hi All
I'm about to change the Y-axis on my Sieg X1 mill that I cnc'd, I want to put the stepper motor on the rear of the column as per the KX1.
I know have the problem that with the stepper at the rear the ball screw will need protecting from chips etc, so I wondered if any member has a KX1 could they say how the Y-axis ball screw is protected from chips!
I can see that the z-axis is protected by a bellows arrangement.
Thanks
