Sieg SX2p HT Review
Will_D:
Thanks Jon I will check.
Have you done anything about the backlash at the handscrew wheels? Just abutting the thread into the housing seems a bit lax. It looks like there is something missing in this SX2P set up (like a thrust bearing).
I have just spent an hour measuring it all up and will then spend more hours trying to draw it out and my suggested upgrade (Based on Arc's Myford Crossslide Mod)

Hi, when you have it set up square I recommend that you put a larger handwheel on the fine feed knob as done by stilldriing, I and a few more members have done this, you would find it is well worth the effort.
John Stevenson:
Better idea what Jon is talking about.
Will_D:
Thanks for the suggestions:
After much time (I only have Word Draw at the moment) here is the sketch for the handwheel bearing mods:
I really believe there is a bearing missing as on the old swivley X2 mill the table does have a thrust bearing fitted! But not on the saddle.
Both of mine are going to be modded. I may need to adjust the housing length slightly to allow the handwheel to be done up correctly!

Will I fitted flange ballraces to mine bored out straight through no need to turn casting round , it has worked well for me for two years so far .
