Thanks! This turned out to be correct. The machines vibration had loosened some of the lock collars and they had slid back from the end stops....
Can it not just be spun around and anchored to the front instead of the rear? ie - The chain would be fully extended with the gantry at the back...
I'm having a weird homing problem on my LEAD 1010 w BlackBox, and am looking for some troubleshooting tips. Here's the sequence of events: Click...
OB Team - I'm thinking about ordering another LEAD kit. Is it possible to order it with the upgraded limit switches?
Update on my grounding issue: The BlackBox itself wasn't grounded as well as I thought it was. I had moved it to a parts tray and grounded it...
Thanks this is good advice - especially on just turning off hard limits for a bit - I forgot I could do that and still use homing. I also just...

Thanks, Bats! (To any future dummies that google "how to get bearings out of wheels", I basically did what Bats showed above, but braced the...
