5/16" or 8mm can be just fit in by milling out the nut channel in the saddle as wide as possible while still leaving the dovetail sides. Denford did it to their CNC Compact 8 clone "ORAC", but cut off about the rear 3rd of the cross slide. The catch is that those small screws tend to cost more than larger ones. :P Some have fit a larger screw to a 9x20 by milling down the top of the saddle and making a new cross slide, mounted with a pair of thin linear slides. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
