dual drive x-axis?

At a price John, not a nice one either.... Would be cheaper to buy a tap a go visit my mate and his lathe....!

If you speak to Michael nice I am sure he would knock some nuts up for you. I think he has got a 10 x 4 tap not the 16 x 4 that you are looking at but why not drop down to 10 x 4 trapezoidal screws to save a bit of money, especially if they are temporary and you are going to upgrade the screws to ballscrews later, will be speaking to him in a bit so I will give him a nudge for you.

Hello Fasteddy,

It sounds like your build's very similar to mine.

I don't want to badmouth Marchant Dice needlessly, and Kevin may still come through with the goods, but i'm struggling to find out what the state of my (overdue) order is.

Anyway, best of luck with your build. I'll update on the leadscrews when I hear more...
