Question: Why does the gears strip when going up and down. After carving a project, I have to reset the level of the top tray. I'm calling it a tray because I don't know the name of it.
I have loosen the four rods the "tray" rides on and I can get the tray to move and be square with the bottom. After I ajust the tray I tighten up the rods and I can carve again. But after that carving and I move the tray up to remove the board I can hear the gears strip and the tray is out of alinement. I have to reset the tray again to carve the next project..
Any ideas of what I am doing wrong or is there a part that is bad? All the gears are in good shape and oiled right. There does seem to be a gap between each gear that would cause them to slip. Don't know how to fix that.. Thanks ahead of time..
