Dude, that’s awesome. That’s why I’m making these videos to try to help people like you. I hope it goes well and I think it will for you! In a few years, you’ll have several machines. I’ve seen it time and time again.
i have had to replace many of the x axis way covers on 3 vf4 ss machines. we machine fiberglass parts no coolant allowed therefore no lubrication . so every 6 months a cover would destroy itself. i finally bought bellows way covers which so far have worked. the covers move over 1 million times/ year 500 cycles / day on the parts .
helped me alot with cleaning a FADAL, had to deal with interior springs that connected the two separate X covers
love your channel and what you are doing man, been a subscriber for a year now. pretty sure ill be buying a vf2 some time this year.

you are correct on bent covers. i tried straightening and could get them working again for a while but at some point a rapid move and they crunch up.

I have had to do this too for one customer.
Hi Man! I changed my way cowers. After about 5-6 weeks start having a coolant in bottle for old oil behind machine any ? Help with that ? Thanks Jan
Check the drain that goes from the back of the y axis to the coolant tank. That could be plugged. Use air to blow back up it.
Thanks, man! Love your content! Uh-oh....are you using "BOOM" like Titan? 🤣
It slipped!
What kind of silicone are you using inside machines that coolant doesn’t turn to goo?
Sikaflex you can get it at a hardware store. We sell it on our website too:
@@cncrepairman will order some for my next project! Ended up using some yamabond I had on hand…
Dude,where's your safety glasses?
First you need to eat some pizzas and lift some weights to grow some arms to disassemble those way covers.
I before E except after C
Thanks! I can fix but not spell lol
