Just for the record, I used right hand single start thread (ball screws) for my mill.

Reason:
simple-the cost was less for right hand thread than left and as my mill/drill has no handwheels, and all is run from the computer; who cares? Once you have your software configured, it will go in the proper direction.

Since I am really SICK of polls, I used a sideways ballscrew.

I agree, Polls can get very boring to those who have "Been There" & "Done that"!
But they are very usefull to the new person whos trying to decide what items or methods to use for their first DIY projects! Especially when they can see the majority of other people have done things in a specific way!
