Ballscrew size -vs- project size | |
Is there a hard fast rule on the diameter of the recommended ballscrew or leadscrew versus the size of the machine it's being used for. I would assume that a true bench sized mill would use a 3/4in screw. What size screw should be used for a router, say 48" x 72". Could you get by with a 5/8" screw or would you get too much whip and deflection.
