How much deflection to expect...

[Wal]

An update from the last couple of days, although I guess I ought to start a new build thread really - going a bit OT. I'll make it quick:

• Flipped the rubber - the protective flaps are working now - they look a bit kooky, but so long as they keep the worst off, I'm happy. Will also fit 'em to the table to protect X-running gear.
• Motors mounted and wired in (thanks to Clive S for the covers!)
• Monitor mounted to the frame and PC installed. Really nice having the DRO right next to the work-area.
• All gantries moving, a quick check of run-out along table X shows .07mm - the majority of which happens towards where the hint of binding was showing up - I'll whip the rails off and make sure there aren't any high-points.

All in all coming along quite nicely, still unconvinced by the clicky ball-nuts - I take it that they come pre-greased? Or should I squirt a bit more in..?
