mswings Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 My 2008 Millie is bumping when I move from front to back. I have checked to make sure it is clearing the carraige. I have checked the frame and can't find a problem there. It is so significant that it actually vibrates the frame. I just changed out my encoder wheels but we checked that and it even happens when I disengage the encoder wheel. Could my M&M wheels need replacing even if I can't feel anything wrong with them? At my wits end. Anyone else have this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbm Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Virginia, if you just changed out your encoder wheels, it may be that one of the allen screws that hold the encoder wheel on its gold shaft didn't get totally screwed in and is hitting the M&M wheel. If the bump is just front-to-back, you don't need to worry about the wheels or encoder at the back of the carriage, just look more closely at the wheel/encoder attached to the head axle.

mswings Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I called the service dept and talked with Amy? We checked the screw and it was fine. We even disingaged the encoder wheel intirely and it still does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 you might also want to check your table overlay and see if it is aligned correctly. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 This sounds silly, but I once had a problem with my cord hitting the carriage and took me a while to figure that out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mswings Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Thanks Charlene, I'll thought I checked that but I will check it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mswings Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I checked the cables and nothing was hitting. I am going to call Amy tomorrow for more ideas. I think I am going to find my old wheels and switch them out to see if that is the problem. That is the only thing that I can think of. Thanks for the suggestions.
