Hello,
I just got a PM30mv and it had quite a bit of backlash so I went to snug up the split lead screw nut and of course the threads were pulled from the factory . I took the table all apart and drilled and tapped the 2 lead screw nuts. The screw is not what I would call precision machining or the nut for that matter . Functional but pretty rough .
Is there an upgraded version of lead or ball screw that I could go with ? I probably would still go with the handwheels and the X axis power feed for now . The Z head would be nice to have power on at some point .
Does anybody change out the screws and still go with manual or is it not worth it?
Thanks ,
Kirk
