Re: lead screw selection

Thanks for the info Ron. The prices on these sure beats what I had
found so far. Its kind of amazing the wealth of worthwhile
information you and the other guys in this group provide. Age here is
63 and I am continually surprised at the sophistication of home as
well as commercial projects that grow from each individual's garage
or work shop.

Thanks again
