Re: 1720XMTC shoptask z axis Ballscrews

Their posted in the photo section now. I wished I had more detail on either the tail turret or z Axis bearing mount setup he used for the driven ballnut. The bearing couldn't be very thick "At least on the Tail turret", I debated on trying to use the High performance thrust bearing that McMaster Carr carry, I don't think the down force with 2 ballscrews on the quill would be that high. Any thoughts?
