What's wrong with antibacklash nuts on the stock lead screw that came with my small Taiwanese knee mill for CNC conversion? Purely for personal hobby use, concerns about wear on the screw would be secondary. Ditto for friction and drag concerns, my steppers are
1000+ oz in rated. Lead screw thrust bearings would be part of the design in the conversion. Would accuracy be equal to or better than what I get now, theoretically? Keeping in mind the intended purpose, what other concerns about this money saving newbie approach am I not seeing? Please enlighten me. Thanks.- posted
