I'm not sure I could get the ball of an indicator lever to ride in the track on a ballscrew. Last year we noticed a bit of dragging of the tap on the threads while the tap was backing out at the end of a rigid tap cycle. My intent is to try to quantify and understand this effect so we can offer adjustment for it in software. > If I remember I can bring ER40 1", .75 and .625 collets. I think I > have all three.
