Lee,


Errrr, sort of!!

I'm completely new to all this stuff also....very steep learing curve!!

The 2 round parts machined from delrin sit at each end of the leadscrew, one has a hole through to allow the leadscrew to connect to the motor, the other is closed. The 10mm dia leadscrew will have the ends turned down to 8mm. The leadscrew then butts up agains a 608 bearing at each end, behind the 608 is a thrust bearing.
Its completely over the top for a machine made out of MDF I guess, but for the cost of a few 608's and the thrust bearings, I thought I would see how it works (I already have visions of Build No.2 !! ) The 608's would probably have enough capacity to take the axial load that will be on them in a Rockcliff router, but at some point they could 'bind' as they are not designed to take an axial load.

The anti-backlash is just that rectangular hunk of delrin, I made a tap out of a lenght of leadscrew and tap a hole through it. It shoulf have 0 backlash and the basic tests I've done so far it seams to work ok.
