Looks like Wednesday will be Christmas for both of us!OK, ball screws are on the way. UPS says they'll get here next Wed..
Paul at CO has been sending me some emails with some instructions, required mods, and pictures.
I have not done this yet, as I'm awaiting the kit so I can visualize this better, but a pocket has to be milled for the Y-axis ball screw and mount.

Next, you have to modify the mill base by lengthening the center slot by 3" (this is my mill) View attachment 116489
And for those with chip trays, you either have to remove the chip tray, or cut a hole in it so you can access the bottom of the saddle/Y-axis ball nut mount. So...I cut a hole in my chip tray between the front two base webbings.

I have not done this yet, but I have to enlarge the hole in the front of the base. I'm waiting to see just how big I need, but Paul sent me a pic of the rig they use. He says it works great when they are doing 6 or more machines at a time. Not sure what this getup is.

Here's a couple of pics showing the assembly of the ball nut, ball nut nose, and ball nut mount. Guess I get to make a spanner to assemble these...
