Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Ballscrew question

I have the artofcnc software ,, and it does have backlash compensation ...
I just think that for a little bit mo' money I can get the doubles and not
have to deal with it ...

I looked at the rockford site and its not real user freindly ..
Suppose I need to call em'
The homeshop place has prices easily seen ...
And Rockford also say the average price for a clone mill is 800'ish ...
Thats WAY over the homeshop place ...
Not including the end turning cost ... but I feel sure I can get a machine
shop
around here to do that on the cheap ..
