The rack and pinion I was aware of. I am limited on time to the NAMES
show, so I will
probably just drive the fine feed dial now, and put in a leadscrew
later. If the leadscrew
install looks easy, I might try it now, though.

Well, I may have to scrape it sometime. It is really for CNC demo and
testing purposes,
so the inaccurracy won't be such a problem.

Thanks for the info,
