I understand the method of aligning a linear rail to a length of extrusion, using a dial indicator on the carriage, but I'm having trouble working how I would do the same when mounting a ball screw to extrusion.
How do you move a dial indicator along a ball screw to check its parallelness to the rail? The ball nut doesn't have a flat surface to reference to and if you use a ball nut mount, how do you keep it square as you move it along the ball screw?
I must be completely missing somethng....lol
How do you guys do it? It must be one of the most difficult jobs to do when building a CNC Router?
