wow - what a difference

The rollers make a huge difference. Even when it was new I hated opening the slides. The motors really sounded like they were working hard. I've held my breath every time hoping nothing would...

Moving the slide in a few inches helped quite a bit. I was able to raise the slide another inch. Using the tool I made I was able to tighten all the screws about 1/4" turn, all of them. The screw...

I have my slide all the way out when I lift and that may be why I don't get much gap, think isosceles triangle. I bet if I move the slide in much further I can get way more gap. I'll try that...
