Removing X stepper
Posted: Tue 21 Dec , 2021 13:57 pm
Hi
I need to remove/replace the X stepper on my micromill
I have removed the four screws that hold it in place, and it now rotates freely about the thread. But I can't see how to disconnect it from the thread (if that's what I need to do). There is a nut on the thread near the motor that I can turn but it doesn't seem to loosen the stepper. There is also a plastic cone, the fat end of which is on the motor, the thin end of which is at the thread. I feel that I should be able to remove but I don't know how.
The link in one of the sticky posts here to sherline that apparently shows the details is broken.
