2005 Millie table

Recently my machine has been more difficult to move. The areas on the outside of the table move smoothly but I have to to really us my muscle in the most used work space. Any suggestions?

Have you tried cleaning your table with alcohol or windex (no ammonia type)?  Clean  your wheels also, check for hidden threads in and around the wheels.  I'm trying to visualize where your problem is?

If you're still using the original wheels from 2005, the bearings may be bad on one or more. I hope you have talked to APQS already. No fun to have to plow instead of glide!.

I have checked the table and it’s totally level and rails are straight as well. The rails and wheels are squeaky clean. Though I have always used rubbing alcohol on the rails only in desperation I also cleaned the wheels and there was a ton of black oxidation. My man is a mechanic and brought me cleaner and polisher for the rails and I was amazed at how much more came off

 

I have M&M wheels...I replaced mine when they first came out....I had a defective batch so they were replaced with another set. It’s been suggested that I try flipping the wheels to see if that helps. We will try that today...

 

I am trying to decide if it’s maybe time to invest the bliss system.

We flipped my wheels last night....life is once again  gliding smoothly along!
