Re: Source for Mill/Drill Ball screws - Rong Fu

Hi Les,

I was under the impression that the popularity of converting these
mill/drills to CNC created a market for ball screw sets specifically
designed for a direct fit. I know such a thing exists for Bridgport
mills. True, they're not going to be cheap so for now forget I ever
said anything related to price. Got any ideas on the more popular
suppliers of the basic components? That chunk of metal linking the X &
Y axis screws in the center of the table seems to be the toughest part
to produce. Any other thoughts on this?

Thanks for the help,
SMP
