Where do I get longer leadscrews for an X3?

[slashmaster]

My X3 has 9 inches from the spindle to column but I'm only getting 5 3/4" of Y travel. The table can go at least 3/4" before it touches the column and farther the other way if I have a longer leadscrew. Where do I get a 10 thread per inch leadscrew like that and what does it cost?

You might be able to use a replacement X axis screw. You should verify they are both the same thread (right or left handed). I believe the X is RIGHT hand thread.

Thanks Frank! How did you get your 7.75 and 18.9? Is it with the original table?

Yes, I used the original table. I converted my x3 to cnc and changed to ball screws with double nuts.

Both the X AND Y axis screws are RH threaded despite one well known published article on the X3 saying otherwise!
