Re: 5/8 Ball leadscrew thrust bearing assemblies and nut flanges

Is 5/8 Dia ballscrew the correct size stock? In my searchs of this
group on "ballscrew" most people have used 3/4" .200 pitch screws.

I may be interested in your project, but first i'm saving for my
Mill/Drill. Also I have not decieded if I want to go with a left hand
thread ballscrew for the Y-Axis.
