The Ball Screw that is in the picture is a rolled thread screw and a tapped nut, As a matter of fact I wrote the program for the lathe, and set up the cell at Tompson that runs that particular assembly, It is not a precision set at all and is mostly used for power pac acuators. It is primarily for just moving things like satalight dishes or garage doors. I would not recomend it for any precision at all. There are assemblies that use a rolled thread and a Tapped nut but are much more precision. As a matter of fact they have some rolled thread screws that run with a ground nut that are very afordable and prcision too.
Also that screw is carbon hardend in a homocarb and is hard almost to the core, It shouldbe aneald to machine it.
And yes you can plow thru some of the case hardend screws if you only need to turn a jurnal end but for the best results you should aneal first.
