Yep. Lots of options. I'll look at some of the sources on the PM
thread with more care in a bit.


Rexroth Bosch are some of the best ballscrews out there. They are
commonly found in high end machine tools. OmniTurn uses them as well

endplay.. Id be happy to send you one or two..what size do you

I'll post some info when I have time to pull that part of the machine
apart again. Right now I have to get some jobs on the little machines
and keep them going. Might not be until tonight or tomorrow when I some
have time to disassemble.
