You wanted commercial quality, and commercial threading, in Your post.
Threading was a requirement.

After 2000+ work hours on threading over 12 years I have very strong ideas on what why and how some things work, or not.

Never meant to ruffle feathers.
Let´s see how your stuff works out, ok ?

A reasonable level stepper conversion is all I need.
Got one arranged for 500.
