Greetings all; During the brief time this was working, one of the things I found was a need for a backlash setting in the 8 or 9 thou range for Z.
Putting a dial on the end of the screw, the measured end play there was around .0055". So theres 2 places that need adjusting. The nut that draws the bearing inners together is quite tight. So I am assuming I'll have to take a few thou off the faces of the inner races. Thats easily enough done. IIRC I did that then I put the 1605 screw on TLM. The rest of it, I suspect is going to need oversize balls reloaded in the nut. Its a cheap C7 grade screw I only paid about $170 for, 1450mm long, so I guess I got what I paid for. Since getting to the nut at this stage of the build is a major teardown as its all hidden in protective bellows, I am wondering if anyone recalls the size of the balls it might have, its a 2505 screw and nut, so I can go trolling fleabay for a bag of balls thats about .0015" larger?
