Re: x belt grinds against idler flange

On my unit the belt does rub the one bolt ever so slightly. I have known about that since the beginning and decided it was not something to worry about.
Initially the step was a little thicker, but a few of them were a tight fit, so I gave extra room for the belt. If you clamp it right you can get it to stay flush with the plate.
The only real solution is to increase the space below the carriages. I always wanted a few eccentric spacer height options, but shortest possible height yields the stiffest machine.
Right now I don't plan to change the design.
