Hi with regard to slide lubrication I have been thinking of adding an oil pump to lubricate the slides to replace the gease nipples, and has I do a bit of work restoring motorcycles I have found a pump that was fitted to Yamaha RD125 & RD250s two strokes, the pump was designed to pump oil into the induction tract and to provide lubrication to the engine one advantage of useing this pump is that the oil discharge can be adjusted. as the pump stroke was increased as the throttle was opened.
I have not got round to fitting this yet but will let you know the results when I do.

Hi

I know is this an old thread so please excuse me, I have just bought a CMD1225 to convert into a cnc Machine, and was wondering how people have got on with this 4 years later, did you do ballscrew converstions? what did you do regarding the z-axis?

Where did you get the ballscrews from, and what size did you buy?

Any pictures or tips would be very welcome.
