Thanks for the info. I called Mike Tieman earlier and he recommended I do the exact same things. He said that there should be very little resistance on the theta of the Z-rods, (not the case) so he recommended that the P4 head be replaced. Mike is

It has been a while but I think the Mk2 was an upgraded ballscrew. I am a fan of the Quad products but if you are looking to bring production in house using these machines to do it, I would be very very careful and really consider new machines with

It has been a while but I think it is the "BAS" nozzle, a nozzle with a seal on the bottom and possibly a pick up delay.
