machining ballscrews

[T0rnado69]

i think what they charge to machine it for you is proberly worth paying,
with no collect chuck. more chance of it slipping and getting damaged ?
if you machine it and mess it up then wasted money on a ballscrew, only to have to buy another one.
so proberly better to get them to do it and you know its done correct and only have to buy it once.

No disrespect ment here but I don't think your setup enough to tackle ballscrews yet. You really need correct Indexed tips otherwise you'll be removing to sharpen often. Then you have the holding and making sure your concentric so collet chucks are very much prefered.

Just pay the man it's honestly not worth the trouble for the price they charge. I did post Chai's Email but Gestapo took it down.!! . . . .I'll PM you it.
