Hi all, Ive got a RF31 and the gib strip and adjustment screw keep vibrating loose when Im machining. After an hour or two, the screw will have undone itself...
... What RPMs are you running? One easy way to tell when I'm using too many RPMs on the RF30 is that it starts to chatter. Also -- don't expect perfection....

Bob, I guess I forgot you mentioned the excess play in the screw thread itself. If you have a lathe, it shouldn't be too hard to make a new screw with...
