    I first tested them by flashlight and calipers,then threaded in by hand...no clearance issues.

    And thankyou for links,I actually have read a lot in 2weeks before purchase and printed those posts you made for reference last week :smile:

    I am going to stay with no rubber feet since we removed them years ago frm our plotters at work.

    They print smoother w/o them the head,base and stand would vibrate differently with them installed.

    Thank you for words of advice

    I picked up a serial card today on the way home from work.

    I thought that I was trying to control surface buildup of static electricity?

     

    Since all pcs are Powder coated that means all powder coat would have to come off on all joints before assy. to give the whole frame a good ground.

     

    as assembled the grounding your getting is strictly from P/C removed by threads and the bottom of the screws as they are tightened down

     

    Static electricity follows outside the powder coated frame right?

     

    So exactly what are we trying to accomplish with grounding?

    I wasn't expecting this to be a pic by pic tutotial...so I will take it apart and redo some pics this weekend and edit it. ;D

     

    I hope this doesn't come across wrong....When I attatched the plotter to the stand I used 4 screws into the same surface that the ground lug uses so I have 4 ground connections to the stand correct?

    it helps to tape the screws to a bit before trying to get them into the sides

    I had to redo these since the first time they went on back wards...no big deal roller lines up now.
    next was to mount the plotter/cutter

    remove the 4 rubber feet (save screws for reinstall)

    and set plotter on top and reinstall screws from rubber feet into holes that feet came off of

    I recieved my 34 SC cutter yesterday evening (I ordered on tue)

    Very good job with packing

    After labels where stuck on the box,they wrapped it in very heavy plastic and banded it,they even

    folded the ends down so water would run off and not in!

    So I unpacked it and was upset that there wasn't an assembly sheet included,I really wanted to read

    I laid all the parts out and they all looked like they were there so I proceed to assemble
