Hi Phil,

The lathe is looking good :-)

Where did you get the telescopic screw covers from?

Hi Mark thanks for your comments. http://www.dqr.co.uk/ballscrew_covers.html they cost about £100 and take 4-6 weeks for delivery

It's a year ago now but any idea where this linked thread went? It seems to have disappeared....

A year ago?
12 years ago!

Original media still exists, just the link has been changed, probably due to a forum update.
Current link is http://www.mycncuk.com/media.php?do=details&mid=50

Ah, but what's a decade between friends!

Thanks for spotting that. Nice, businesslike conversion there.

My Bantam looks like a baby version of the M250 in many ways. In my case I mounted the X axis motor at the back of the saddle and fitted linear encoders so I could close the position control in LinuxCNC.

I got my telescopic ballscrew covers from AliExpress but I haven't fitted them yet. Obviously, the minute I do I will need to remove them again and they are the very devil to get off without dismantling the entire front assembly.
