Hi Bill,
I may have given you the wrong idea about the ball-screws. I am waiting for a quote from a British company who claim that they can supply any normal sized ball-screw. If I cannot get 0.200" lead, and I don't see why not because that is the lead advertised for the Bridgeport conversion kits, I'll get a quote from the British company for a 5mm lead. I do not expect you to be able to get metric ball-screws cheaply in the States.
McMaster-Carr is one such company that has Bridgeport conversion kits and they may do just the ball-screws without the ends?
Another is : http://www.ballscrews.com also known as BSA.
If you can chase these down for me I'll work on the British end.
The packets arrived untouched by customs with no money to pay, thanks. Did you take a copy of the Epic paperwork as it contains information that allows connection to other programmers and for in-circuit programming.
Regards,
Terry
