i've worked with the stuff a fair bit over the years and i find it overall not too bad as far as machining goes ,even though its tempermental at times ,but ive never used it in this type of application , concidering the size of thread your probably right about it standing up , they are supposed to be precision teflon coated screws ,so they should be smooth
i will see what i can come up with as far as making a roll tap and make a few spares , i'd love to throw a few onto the machines at work and make them properly but free time on the machines is nearly non existent
now i have to figure out how to utilize the holes ive already drilled into my gantry for the chaindrive , eh maybe limit switches ,
plans are made for changing (again)
ive posted a pic of these , they were shipped yesterday , it will be easy to modify the nuts to antibacklash if needed
it surprises me that noone would have jumped on these when the guy posted them on ebay as a buy it now item |
