Well, hello everyone.
Today I had a productive day. For roughly $15 and in 15 minutes of cutting time I had my own roller screw. And I can tell you this thing beats any delrin nut any day. Ok it has some backlash, it does have some axial play as well but considering it's been made out of M10 "allread" and with only an idea in my head and no drawings of any kind, planning or anything else for that matter (even the cuts are as rough as they get - no polishing or finishing of any kind) this thing rolls really nice.
Now on thursday I'm going to put some plugs in my ears and go to the same guy with the drawings of a real roller screw and he told me that from what he made today and from what I explained to him about the real roller screws he could do something.
I'll try and upload a few pics of what I had made today. This is fantastic! Cheap homemade better-than-ballscrews roller screws are coming!!!!
