How to fix poor finish on Southwestern Industries TRAK TMC5?
- KKevin JonesAug 23, 2025
To improve the finish on your Southwestern Industries Power Tool, verify that nothing is mechanically loose and the backlash values aren't higher than what physically exists in the system. Check the value of code 134 and adjust the friction feed forward as needed. Inspect for any looseness in the setup (tool, tool holder, part, vise, or fixture). Also, check the cutter's condition and type, the material, RPM, and feed rate. Ensure proper lubrication to ballscrews and linear guide surfaces, checking the lube pump and oil lines. Inspect the X & Y-axis drive trains for looseness, potentially requiring disassembly and reassembly. Visually inspect the linear guide surfaces for scarring, wear, noise or vibration, and ensure adequate lubrication.
