Re: Sherline Z-axis ballscrew feed.

Tim:
Wouldn't two nuts on the leadscrew result in too much drag for the
stepper motor for the Z-axis? I thought that one of the attractions
of using ballscrews was the low friction and less wear than normal
thread-type leadscrews? I think a ballscrew for the z-axis is a
fine idea. Now, if someone can just do it and work the bugs out,
we can just retrofit our mills. ; ) -Jim
