    help finding the right/best ballscrew setup for my budget

    Hello all, I'm looking for some help on deciding what kind of screws I should be looking for, for my budget, $300-$350. The three lengths needed are 24" 18" and 11".

    I'm thinking on that kind of budget I'd be looking at acme screws with a tight nut for backlash and just use bigger steppers. Is my thinking correct? Can I fit everything I need under 350? Any help is appreciated, not sure if the best deal I'd get is by using eBay or or another site.

    I'd get multi start acme screws with dumpster nuts, which should be under $200.

    Do you mean $300 for the whole machine, or just for the screws?
