WOW! The things you learn.
Thanks for the replies. When I set this machine up I looked at as many
posts as I could find on how to do this. Somehow I missed the fact that
people were putting ball screws on the quill. However that being said the
backlash is very minimal.
Great point on the amount of effort need to drill a hole, which brings
another question;
What does the power quill feed use to move the quill. I would think that
this is reasonably accurate, but gets its power from the mechanical drive.
Being a total newbie to the mechanics of the machine, where does the
ball screw fit. Anybody got a picture of a setup???
Again, thanks for the wealth of information!!
