Wanted - Delrin nuts for Chinese 3020 CNC - X and Y axis

[Tom_Nelson]

Have you had a look at this thread on making your own. I'm about to try making delrin nuts for my Chester 16v mill using this technique

​As far as i can determine, delrin and acetal are pretty similar (maybe delrin is just a trade name for acetal ?)

Tom, don't!

the forces on the chester are much larger than on the 3020. Stick with your ballscrew idea and use backlash comp in Mach3/4

Not seen that idea before Tom, if we get desperate perhaps it would be worth a shot! :)
