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 deliveryQuote:

12 years ago!
Original media still exists, just the link has been changed, probably due to a forum update.

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.
