So how is the performance with the original lead screws Clive? can you zero out the backlash in the cross slide?
I don't zero out any backlash because I find that on the lathe you (or I) always back off from X at the end of the cut run and then then any backlash is taken up when you start the next cut. If that makes sense. The conversion I did was from this guy http://www.jeffree.co.uk/modelengineering.html
