Greetings; It seems 2.3.3 works ok for me, thanks a bunch guys.
One other Q though. My x&y screws are 20 tip acme, and its cooling down, even with a heater running the machine is maybe at 55F right now, and the Y screw in particular is howling up a storm. Its wet, quite wet with a mixture that is part STP and vactra. I've had this problem before, and no lube I've tried seems to really be _the_ fix. Bar oil, 10w40, 3in1, STP, wd-40 & some spray stuff different from wd-40 have all been squirted rather liberally on it to no avail. I now have ball bearings in the bearing bosses on the end of the tables, and a grease fitting drilled into the bore between them but because of the clearance, grease applies very very slowly there, and doesn't seem to effect the squeal at all. The bearings are mechanical seals, so theoretically I should be able to blow grease right on through them given enough time. Is there a magic panther pi$$ for this application other than money for ball screws? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
