Where did you buy your threaded rod?(cheapo leadscrew!) - was it straight?

[Smiler]

I'm having a mare getting some 'straight' M8 threaded rod (to use as a leadscrew - we're not all loaded!)


So...if you're using M8 Rod....where did you get lengths from & more importantly....was it as straight as a die (I need one about 44cm long...I think it's this relatively the length that is proving to be the problem)

I bought some M8 from eBay from these bods

Nice and straight but that wasn't really a concern for me.

Don't know what you are using for a leadnut but don't be tempted to use SS, polish the thread all you want, eventually it will bind and scrap the rod and the nut.
