    I'm dithering about with a Warco WM16 mill which I plan to convert to CNC but was planning on leaving the standard lead screws in and seeing how it performs. If it turns out to be crap, then I'll look at anti-backlash nuts, followed by ball screws. Ball screws cost about 5x the standard acme lead screws, but are they *really* 5x better?
