Hello all

I think I've come the conclusion that I must convert my 8x4 Wood cutting CNC router to driven nut Ball screws from R&P as I just can't get the accuracy and consistency I need.
I've read with great interest everything I can find on here about using driven nuts.
It's not possible for me to make the drive units required so I'm leaning towards these parts https://haase-cnc.de/index.php/maschinenelemente/antreibbare-muttern.html
Unless there is anyone on here making Ball screw drive units for sale? (Jonathan seems to have gone off the Radar).
Next I'm trying to source a sensible priced 2525 Ball screw (as recommended by Jazzcnc).
I contacted BT on Aliexpress but unfortunately his 2525 screws use the larger 47mm body nuts that aren't compatible with the Haase parts.
Any recommendations of screw suppliers would be welcome, I need 2 x 2800mm and 1 x 1600mm.
I'm based in Ireland.

Thanks a mill.

Sorry don't know of anywhere I can suggest, how "out of compatible" are BT's nuts, could it be made to work with an adapter plate if you could get one made ?

Not worries...it looks like I'll be able to get everything form CNCdrive in Hungary.

Excellent, don't forget to do a / start a conversion build log and show us all how its done on one of their machines, we have seen the blue frame type of haase cnc machines on here before...

I cant remember the brand name it was who came along to demonstrate/offer it to the community, think its in the Manufacturing News section maybe...
