Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Mini-Mill ball screws/nuts AND CNC Router project

About 15 years ago I went to a surplus store and located 50 sets of 2 each, new in their shipping cartons,Thompson accurride linear slides worth back then $125 ea. I bought them for $20 a set. At the same place they had new ballscrews with dohble antibacklash nuts. I got all of those for $15 each and got about 30 of them.
I sold most of them but kept a couple sets for my own use. The router was a perfect place to use the Thompson slides. I still have a couple sets left by have plans for them also.

Dan, what is the slide in your router? Is it a plastic block sliding in
the T slot of the extrusion? Can you give a pointer to the source?

thanks
