Extreme wear on Xtreme V wheels

Hi all

I'm hoping somebody can assist me to identify the cause of why my Xtreme V Wheels are badly worn despite my Workbee only seeing several hours of use. It's mainly the wheels located on the x axis gantry, closest to the router (which I appreciate is where the main forces are applied due to the weight of the router). I'll try to upload a picture later but suffice to say some of the wheels are very worn with a complete V section made (if that makes sense).

I thought it might be over tightening of the eccentric nuts but I was very mindful of this when building the Workbee and I'm not convinced it is the cause.

Many thanks

Luke

Hi Luke,

The wear on wheels is caused by them being tensioned too much, I would adjust the eccentric spacers to the loosest position and slowly turn until there is a small amount of friction.

Thanks.
