    Hello all - hopefully the above images will give you an idea of what's going on: a 2 sided part and a holding jig. In the last two pics the second side has been machined and you can see how the part and the pockets don't quite match up and the holding pockets have had to be cut a bit bigger than you'd expect to accommodate for what I think is skew - but hey, there might be a bit of backlash in those Chinese screws so it could be a combo of both those things... (it's barely perceptible, but I get a click pushing on the table when the motors are energised and holding - and that ain't what I want).

    Ok, it doesn't cause me a great problem with the kind of stuff I'm making, but it's something I'd like to (literally and figuratively) straighten out. I reckon I'll eventually upgrade the machine to linear rails and increase the work-area while I'm at it. I'll probably go for a better set of screws at the same time. In the meantime I'm thinking of adding the Millkins module - anyone on here done it? Easy-peasy or is there stuff I need to be aware of..?

    Oh, and a vid of the part coming out:
