I know my shop / equipment is larger than most hobby shops.  I am a 5 S (Lean) expert for my day job why it is clean and organized...  I used the chinese motors and drives from Keling Technologies because of price.  They work fine and when you are machining they cannot be heard.

Thanks for the comment and viewing my videos

Yes I cut it long enough to stretch and compress on both ends to keep the lead screw covered.  I also put plenty of grease in there.  I built this 3 years ago and can drill a 1.718" dia thru solid stock at .005" per rev.

I have used a vacumn cleaner hose from a dyson to cover the lead screw on the Z Axis on a 1440 lathe
