If using a 1/2-10 acme leadscrew for my z-axis with a bronze nut, would the weight of the router, clamps and bearings (probably 8 to 12 lbs) eliminate the backlash due to always being loaded, or would I be better off with a homemade plastic antibacklash nut. If I use a plastic nut, it would probably need to be replaced periodically while the bronze nut would probably last quite a long time. Thanks,
