    Hey there , I'm putting together the CNC 1515 and watching the video, I'm at the part where he tightened the eccentrics to get the wheels snug up against the rail, but no matter how much I turn , there is one , two or three wheels that are not tight against the rail. In the video he shows you should be able to move the whole unit by spinning the wheel , but a few of my wheels are barely touching and definitely don't move anything if I spin them manually. Is this ok or is there something I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

    Give it a while to settle in and then re-adjust the wheels.

    Otherwise, loosen the fixed (non eccentric) side a little, nudge those wheels inward (there is a bit of play in the hole the axle bolts pass through) - pressing the wheel inward before retightening takes up a little more space on that side, allowing the opposite (eccentric) side a little more grip
