Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] telescoping leadscrew protectors

Hello Doug,
You can put tubing together but travel might pet reduced.
Kabelschlepp and others sell cylindrical springs.
"Steel, Hilton" <HSteel@...>
You might be able to make some out of very wide packing steel band like
for
transport boxes. But I tell you ITS NASTY. I had to do something
simmilar for
to substitute drill press springs. Therefor I prefer to buy the stuff.
Good luck
Sven Peter
