A friend of mine converted his vicroy and here is what he did:
1.left original screw in the lower knee Z and a powered this (backlash is less of an issue here)
2.left the spindle Z as manual so at to always keep this up and maintain as much rigidity as possible during milling ops (still had the option to lower if needed)
3.replaced screws in the X an Y planes with ball screwIf the nagging gets really bad......Get a bigger shed:naughty:
