I'm still reassembling my mill after a full strip and conversion to CNC, I have fitted ball-screws and had to get new X & Y axis end brackets as I am not refitting the old power-feeds.
The new brackets came with bearings installed, 2 in each.
Is there supposed to be a shim between the two bearings to set the pre-load?
I am asking because if i tighten the nut on the end, it seems to bind the bearings up which i am certain is not right.
Nothing seems to show in the parts lists.
