Thomas, I put the drive on the opposite end than used for end play
adjustment. That way I could use simple ball bearings since it is
just a radial load. Angular contact is the way to go for heavy duty
use, and you can do it all at one end, but my solution was simple,
and works good on my hobby machine. I would post pics, but don't see
a link to do it.
