I joined a few weeks ago and keep meaning to take the time to type out a lengthy introduction and details on my builds but I find I am lacking the time for either these days.
I converted my first machine around 7 years ago and keep doing upgrades and improvements so it's ever evolving and as I upgrade one machine, parts kick downstream to upgrade another. Somedays I wish I had never started down this path, other days I wish I had spent more and done it better the first time.
I am currently shopping for a new set of double nut ballscrews and am likely going to buy the kit from Heavy Metal this time.
My current system is sounding pretty rough and my rear mount Y axis Stepper just doesn't work in this new enclosure and so the new kit will get me much higher tolerances and let me shift the whole machine back another 6" and get me the proper clearance from my doors to clear my 4" vise.
