Where to get C3 & C5 Ballscrew

[AdCNC]

There are loads of places on the net that sell C7 ballscrew but im after something with a better spec.

Any body know anywhere local?

[Jonathan]

Just out of interest what do you need it for?

[AdCNC]

A very accurate mill im building. c7 will not do :D

I see ... I'm expecting to see an extremely rigid machine then, otherwise it's not worth it.

You could consider calibration to compensate for the inaccuracy in a C7 screw. Mach3 allows you to do this in a couple of different ways...

[AdCNC]

I dont use Mach3, The machine is being made out of solid steel :-) So rigidity is very high. Machine is powered by servos!

[Jonathan]

That sounds generally awesome! I'm sure screw calibration must be available in EMC.

[AdCNC]

I dont know about EMC as i use USBCNC

[Jonathan]

Oh, fair enough. Don't think that can be calibrated, without writing your own program to edit the Gcode... which is tricky.

I can supply C5 and C3, but it is not a stock item.

Marchant Dice have rolled C5.
I can remember in the distant past finding a site that listed far more ball screws, but can't find it now.


Any more details about the mill?
