48 Extension Installed But

Hello Kendall, welcome to the group!

I would start by checking for any damage to either the threads on the lead screw or the ā€˜rails’ that the V-wheels ride on. Maybe try loosening the backlash block a bit if you don’t have the self adjusting one with the springs although I don’t think if it was the backlash it would always bind in the same spot but it’s worth a shot. Another thing that can happen is if the backlash block is mounted a little crooked it might bind at the end of travel where the lead screw doesn’t have any room to flex. You can back off the mounting screws and jog left and right a bit and then tighten them back up to make sure the block is parallel to the lead screw.

That’s all I have at the moment… good luck!

EDIT: In this post I go over my method for adjusting the backlash, maybe it’s useful to you.
