Tic Tic Tic on the Y-axis

RESOLVED- Thanks Onefinity. It was the plastic dust protector that just needed the grub screw tightened. I oiled the machine too.

Hi [Onefinity Support],

I’m experiencing a ticking noise coming from the Y-axis on my Onefinity CNC. The machine has relatively low hours of use, and I follow a consistent maintenance routine, including regular cleaning and oiling. Based on the sound and its source, I suspect the issue may be related to the retainer ring.

Could you provide guidance on troubleshooting this issue? If the retainer ring is indeed the cause, what steps should I take to inspect or resolve it?

I appreciate your help and any recommendations you can offer.

Best,
Mick

I found the upper tramming screw had loosened and was hitting the cable chain as a result. Turned it back in and sound ceased.
