Known issues

Some edges of some aluminum parts can be sharp. Aluminum is

relatively soft and dulls easily, but still, handle parts carefully.

Some of the threaded holes in sliding elements may not be tapped

completely. These can be fixed with a power drill/screwdriver and a
metal screw.

Set screws in the pulleys and motor couplings may occasionally

become loose if there is too much vibration. Tighten them well.
