Issue Type: Equipment Problem
Area: CNC
Equipment: Tormach PCNC 1100
Summary: The enclosure doors need maintenance.
Additional Info: The sliding main doors have eyelets sliding on rods above,and the plexiglas is attached to the metal frame with bolts. the nuts have come loose from multiple points so the window bolts can jam because the doors can mis-align. A nut fell off and i put it on a different hangar that was also missing a nut. Lots of missing nuts. If you wiggle the doors they work fine. Rest of machine works fine

Fixed up the doors using some nuts I found in the storage cabinet underneath the machine, and moved some of the longer door bolts on the left door to other positions where they wouldn’t cause binding. They close much better now and no longer need the air gun to hold the doors shut evenly.

There were different types of nuts/bolts in use on the door hardware with minimal spares that I know of, so a fresh single set may be a good idea along with a general cleaning of the rods/eyelets.
