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?
