WD-40 works too.
What kind of squeal? When does it squeal, jogging, feed speeds, hitting a rail?
^wot he says!
Find out which axis is making the noise. It could be something simple like a small offcut jammed on a rail or pulley. Or a bearing of some sort - often they are simply a shaft running in a hole, without even a plastic bush, especially in a budget Vevor machine. Or it might be a pillow block style with a small ball bearing that has become clogged up with dust and debris. Or maybe even a pulley slipping on a shaft.
The laser-head was dragging against the material and causing the squealing noise. Thank you so much!
