Ball Screws in Bridgeport mill?

I went to an auction recently and picked up a set of screws that turned out to be ball screws for a 9x42 Bridgeport. http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/Bridgeport-Ball-Screws/ I am a little surprised about it, as, I thought, ball screws could only be used in CNC mills whose screws were held by stepper motors. So, do they have use in a manual mill and are they in any way better than regular drive screws? Or are they for CNC conversion only? Unless I'm mistaken , the big advantage to ballscrews is that they have virtually zero backlash . I don't know any reason they can't be used in a manual mill . -- Snag every answer leads to another question |
