Table Shake

[eelnad]

i just finished putting together my 96 x 60 alpha table frame and gantry but have NOT installed the wood table and spoilboard. i started running files and noticed that the machine is very "herky jerky" for a lack of a better term. i can see the table somewhat shakes when the gantry "launches" and then "stops on a dime." my move and jog speeds are set to 3. will this shakiness go away when i build the wood table base and spoilboard?

Did you Square and level your table?

Daniel,
You may want to read Brady Watson's article on "Ramping" found on this forum. This may help prevent sudden starts and stops and table shaking.
