Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Ballnut Nut

We just went through that exercise....your best bet is to get a local shop
to chase the threads to fit, as a tapped hole, per Kim Lux's description
when he did it that way, proved unsatisfactorily sloppy and the threads
failed to hold the ballnut in place. Your result may vary. My threads are
nice and tight made up on the lathe.
