Re: ball screws Backlash

With all this talk about Thomson, I thought I'd put in my $0.02. From my
limited experience, they make fine stuff - the Thomson tables, bearings
and supported shafts I have seem to be top quality. However, when I
e-mailed them about the new ballscrews, the sales-type insisted upon a
phone number before they would send specs and pricing. I hate
telemarketing, and told them that was why I didn't give out my number,
whereupon they got a bit snooty. After this experience, I'll be dealing
with _anyone but_ Thomson for my CNC needs.

YMMV
