Milling Machine Advice

It's one from Zapp, if you look on the ball screw page it's down the bottom.

I presume that you're using the standard flanged ballnut like the below?



I was going to see if I could get away with one i could screw in to a 25mm (or whatever width) piece of steel that will replace the tapped existing nut.

Neil Yes that is the type of nut, but the problem is the width of the body (round bit) hence the channel I had to cut in the bed. I will make the housing for the nut with the lug on it to bolt to the original place. Yours is a bigger machine and the Z arrangement is different. Thanks for the pics. ..Clive

Double nuts are a good idea for a milling machine - i.e. DFU1605 not SFU1605.
