Hey all,
Up to this point the occasional cleaning of my X and Y rails and wheels has been sufficient for most of the jobs I have been doing. I am now cutting a lot of 3/4" HDPE for a very picky client who needs excellent edge quality. I have found that I need to polish the rails and wheels before every few sheets as ANY debris that finds its way between the rails and wheels causes a "nick" in the edge surface and ruins the part. My PRS Alpha is a 2010 model which was before they added the wheel covers, although there are small holes in the plates beside each wheel that appear to be in the right position for them. Question, does anybody know if those holes are for the covers, if by chance they are threaded and/or what thread they should be, and if anyone sees a problem with buying the covers with the rail wipers from Bishop-Wisecarver and would they fit? Your wisdom is appreciated. They aren't cheap at nearly $60 each and I want to make sure before I order them.
Thanks,
Mark
