Thanks for the reply, Torsten. This is a not-much-used ballscrew machine
which I got as surplus. But I do appreciate your concern for possible
wear. I did not think the machine had any backlash until I put the
indicator on it--I could feel no looseness by hand. Thank goodness for
measuring instruments! :-)

Best regards,

Randy
