What make model etc. ballscrews did you buy.
If you don't get a preloaded ballscrew nut then that kind of backlash with a rolled screw would not be out
line. You can use two cheaper nuts with mounting to a piece in between such that you can put a load on them
and take out the nut backlash. Not the ideal and that is what some people are selling out their for their cnc machines.
With that you may loose some axis travel.
So until the SS gets backlash implemented no joy ( your postinig is right above mine on the site ) .
Hopefully it will not be to much longer. I have been waiting for about 5 months now for it to be implemented.
