Thanks for the msg. The smaller one is by far the weirdest and rarest thread I have ever seen (and everyone agrees with me
) I looked in a McMaster Carr Catalog and found the 15/16 tap fro $50 but im glad you found one for 30!!
My Lathe is basically Disassembled pending the CNC Conversion. I did think about doing it on the lathe as well though. The reason I didn't buy a flag was because of the way the nut for the ballnut was desiged. It allowed for a chip guard to cover the ballscrew which I would like to keep incorporated with the design. This project is being done between 3 people. RotarySMP or something like that on here, he did all the drawings. and a guy named peirre is helping with the parts. I have done a majority of them already at work on a large VMC that I run. But this should be a nice looking setup. If worse comes to worse I will give a call to Roton and cave on a flange, they are very good people. I bought all my ballscrew stuff from them, and have been very happy. Thanks for helping me out
