    Yes using the keyboard, or just typing the commands, is good as you've effectively got autofeed on XYZ.

    True, except I've not put ballscrews on my mill yet mainly due to cost. I may never do it as the router has ballscrews and will cut most things...

    Thank you both for your input, a lot to think about. It's been over 30yrs since I used a mill or lathe manually and the learning curve seem a lot steeper now. Could I ask, Jonathan, how much accuracy do you think you have lost, if any, by using the lead screws? And did you lose any of the table range?
