    Hi Robin,
    I have just posted some pictures and did them as a reply to Wilfy.

    One of the reasons that I wanted to use a "beefy" leadscrew is because I am hoping to be able to use a ball screw mounted on the top of my Z slide as the top bearing. I don't know if this will work, but intend to drive the screw via a servo/encoder fixed parallel to the spindle and using toothed belt and pulleys.

    I would be very interested to hear any comments about this.

    Regards
    Geoff I do of course mean ballscrew nut mounted on the top of my Z slide. G
