thanks for the info
I had read about the fences being a bit of an issue for some so will be sure to pay attention to that!
I have also read the manual already (online) and noticed the circlip is sided, i will be sure to use TL on all screws going into aluminium too.
I always set my motor by eye with about .5 - 1mm of backlash, usually run the motor up and listen to it, i like it to be fairly quiet and have never had issues with stripping teeth (yet! lol)
Thanks again and any further info/tips welcome
Cheers,
Steve.
