Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
That sounds like an excellent solution to removing backlash. Does the spring have the leadscrew 'inside' it - i.e. is it slid on the leadscrew between the two nuts?? Did you cut down the two halves

Re: Different Prices - such a range!
Thanks. That may well be true now; up-to-date info is better than my 'old news'. My older MicroLux 7x14 has the pivoting mount for its brushed motor, which powers a 2 speed geared spindle.

Re: CNCZEUS is now Open source
Yes, LinuxCNC, formerly EMC. You don't have to use the graphical interface. All modern CNC controllers are g-code interpreters. If you learned about CNC years ago or even today you'd learn about

Re: CNCZEUS is now Open source
Googling LCNC doesn't return much.? Are you referring to LinuxCNC otherwise known as EMC2?? I know that's really versatile software like Mach III/IV, but I've just never been a big fan of the

Re: CNCZEUS is now Open source
If you are looking for OpenSource CNC that will do things like drive 4 or 5 axis mills and tool changers and does not need you to change the source code to add functionality, then you'd be looking to

Re: Different Prices - such a range!
This is what I meant by "features" vs "quality".? ? And as in the quote immediately above, it's still "bit of a gamble". The motor mount is a feature of lathes with the brushless motor and direct
Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
A secondary nut at the back of the cross slide would work, but you'd need to make something to mount the nut. I've done something like this two different ways -- one for my mill and one for the cross

Re: Steady rest tune-up
Low speed and plenty of lubrication seems to work for me with the steady rest, and I don't leave the lathe running if I'm not cutting. I bought that LMS bearing set but I don't think I will use it, as

Yes, worked fine for me once I learned how to set it up.

Well, most bearing places will have a choice of bearings. Dont think it would be hard to add them onto what you have. george

Steady rest tune-up
I've used the steady rest a few times to support larger diameter work when the tailstock center was in the way. I found that the stock brass pieces didn't retract far enough to suit work which would

Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
I didn't move the brass/bronze (?) nut. I 'milled' the slide with my router and left the nut in the original spot. But a split nut sounds like an excellent idea for eliminating/reducing backlash.It
