Anti-backlash nuts on a Taig mill

I am wondering if anyone has been successful in installing commercial
anti-backlash nuts (with the corresponding acme screws and bearings)
in a Taig mill? The anti-backlash product that I am thinking of is
the cam-type nuts that BSA offers.

I would like to get started on a CNC mill, and I am weighing my
options. I really wanted to build my own, but as time grows shorter,
I am now considering retro-fitting a commercially available unit. The
mill will be used to machine jewelry models in wax primarily, but I
would like the option to machine aluminum and brass, possibly steel.

The unit I use at work has BSA anti-backlash nuts, and I am pleased
with the results that we get. I am hoping I can install them on the
Taig mill.

Thanks,
Tom Murray
