    One thing I see is that you don't have much room for adjustment or alignment with that threaded bracket setup so give a little thought to how you'll do this for both directions. Ballnut housings tend to be easier to adjust than fastening ballnut direct to plate like that.
    Thanks guys! Improvements implemented.



    Those little white brackets sticking out on the end plates are those for triggering limit switches at each end.? . . . If so have you thought about using a traveling switch and save your self a lot of wiring and messing around with brackets etc. I do all my machines this way and it saves alot of work and easy to setup.
    Yes these are brackets for limit switches. And I have not thought about using only one traveling switch!
    Simple and ingenious - for sure I will also implement this!

    I will go ahead and order my stuff from BST Automation.
