Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] rotating ballscrew mount - mini-mill

Dave,

Take a look at Hoss's mini-mill retrofit. I have plans from Ron Steele and they also show what you are looking for. Once I find a nice affordable ball screw I plan on using Ron's plans. It does add to the height of the machine and requires relocation of the power box.

Hi all,

I am starting to lay out a mini-mill retrofit and am thinking about
using a fixed screw and a rotating ball nut.

Anyone have plans ? ideas ? warnings ?

It seems the nut needs to be on a bearing block with thrust bearings.

Thanks,

Dave
