That same guy has been spamming the taigtools mailling list. Since he doesn't provide very detailed information (even a photo or a set of installation instructions) I can't expect most people to order from him.
I was fighting some bad X backlash on my Taig mill recently and it turned out to be the nylock nut that holds the coupler in place. I reinstalled the coupler and my backlash is around 0.0015" right now. I'm good with that.
I also made new coupler tubes (the little plastic tubes) and found an easy source for them. Many Bic-style pens have ink tubes that are the same diameter (just under 1/8", I think it was 0.120"). One pen tube is enough for one coupler. |
