Hello everyone, so we have come across an issue with our Roland DWX-50 milling machine. So the other day, while milling a basic 3 unit bridge in Zirconia, I noticed when the spindle box moved along the rails there is a loud "clunking","clicking" noise coming from the spindle box by the rails as if its getting held up by something on the rail. I tried milling in other materials and cleaned machine really well, and lubed the rails like you are supposed too, but the noise is still happening and it only happens when the spindle gets over the work piece, so right about in the middle of the rails is where the noise happens, and it is now causing our units to mill out really rough. I have always kept up on the routine maintenance on the machine and have kept rails clean and lubed. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this problem, because our machine is longer under warranty, so I was planning on starting to take things apart to try and access the rails by taking of the spindle box, but looks like it might be tricky so if anyone has any information that could possibly help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance
