Eric,
Thanks for the squaring tips. I generated a file to cut an "L" into each block vs pins (potato / potahto).
After about 30 minutes and 3 block adjustments, my 9660 machine is reading about 107.6875" +/- .007" either direction. Honestly cannot see a difference with the naked eye, and tension of tape seems to be the biggest variable in the equation at this point.
Cannot believe I got away all these years without doing this.:eek:
Previously had a sweet spot at center of table where the gantry settled in to square very, very well (+/- .030), so it got parked there on shutdown. (However, I've had a few zingers come off the machine...):o
Now, my stop blocks are tweaked and I'm finally doing it the right way, and will continue to test periodically. Consistency is king!
Thanks again, and I strongly urge anyone reading this to make time for this tweak!
Jeff

'L's are a good way to do it too, at the end of the day they both accomplish the same thing. Glad it's working for you!
