Hi Mark, Wayne here, originally the ball screw nuts were fitted into a fabricated "dog bone", maybe make a new one for the nuts? I think I binned the original, I will keep my eye out if it is lingering around here somewhere! keep up the good work
@@intheshed77a hello. I don't actually know as they were a free gift! I'll see if I can measure them, or better still Wayne who donated then might see this comment and tell us both! (crozwayne). The nuts will be a challenge to fit into the yokes, so I wouldn't rush off and buy the exact same screws/nuts that I have. Also the screws might be a little short and I'll lose a tiny bit of travel. When I'm done I'll post all of the details in a video, but that will be some time yet. If you're really keen I'd see what others are doing, or what you get with some of the CNC kits. Good luck with it all!
Nice project.
There's always a "side project" to spice things up!

@@crozwayne awesome, thanks Wayne. I agree that making a new dog bone is probably the best way forward. 💪
Some auto power steering gearboxes are like that.
Hi Mark, could you tell me what size and pitch your new ball lead screws are. Im wanting to fit these to my machine.
All the best
