New sound I hear - high pitched squeal on Nomad 3

Hi everyone. I have just started hearing a new sound on my Nomad 3 - a high pitched, whistle like squeal. I I’ve been cutting the same shape out of hard wood, this is the 10 or 11 program run and this is the first time I’ve heard this sound.

Sound with squeal: https://youtu.be/ex06r_z1o8I

Before squeal for comparison: https://youtu.be/_mbDsiU84ME

Is this an issue and if so is it related to cleaning or maintenance?

thanks

Time to clean and lubricate.

You’ll want Superlube for the XY linear rails and leadscrews, and Mobil Vactra No. 2 for the Z-axis linear rails/blocks.

thanks! Should have known that really, I see it now in the manual. Appreciate it. :slight_smile:
