Hi I have completed this step but I am unsure how freely the carriage should run. I followed the initial construction steps and tightened the hexentric nuts until there was some friction. I have also reviewed the Eire workshop videos but Tommy is able to push his X carriage along the X axis with very little effort. The initial instruction was to tighten the hexentric nuts until there was friction and all the wheels turned. If I loosen the nuts so that the carriage moves more freely not all the wheels turn and I cannot find a medium between the two. Just for clarity I can move the carriage all along the Y axis without it suddenly stopping or being more difficult to push along - is that OK? Kind regards Kim
