It seemed rather a heavy cut, you need to be careful not to overheat the work. It'll expand locally thus taking more off and leave an uneven finish when it cools. At the extreme the work expands, makes the cut heavier and burns the work. Amhik.

It wasnt taking as much as it looks, I lowered the head with four turns of the handle which I think is around .01mm but I need to rig up a dial to see the exact movement per turn. I might do that tomorrow after work because it has been so long in the making I have totally forgot how many teeth are on the worm gear, sure it was around 80 but cant be sure.

I have a few little problems one good one potentially bad. The good one is that my wifes work has been having a clear out, I was given a metal cabinet and wait for it A 16" ECLIPSE MAGNETIC TABLE  :ddb: now this is too much bulk for the existing setup so a redesign will have to be on the cards now. The other problem is that a stray bit of swarve got onto the left/right controller board and blew a track :doh:. I just hope this is all it did.
Couldnt look at it this weekend however as I had to get some lights fitted into grand daughters doll house.
