I may be biased as I am a Sherline dealer, but the Sherline motor mounts
are hard to beat. They use 2 ball bearings that are preloaded to handle
the thrust on all 3 axes. They also include the zero backlash flexible
couplers. I have used a third party motor mount for the first Sherline
conversion I did and it used the stock washers for the thrust. While you
may get the endplay low for now it will quickly grow. None of that
problem with the Sherline kits.
