HalfNut | | Hi Stevembh,
I am from Brisbane. Ihave been working on design and source of components
for an Aluminium capable router/mill to do Photo engraving.
I hope to start construction in about 4 weeks.
Lead screws seem to be the most difficult area to get cost down.
I am currently playing with 6mm Acme lead screw material and I am contemplating making up adjustable zero backlash nuts.
I got 6 meters of lead screw and 6 nuts for $130.
The form appears to be OK and would assume it is a rolled thread.
I would be interested to know if anyone has an inexpensive source of ball screws
