The Change to Ball Screws

The Change to Ball Screws

After building the first 5 machines, the "First Batch", the lead screws were definitely a performance leech.

Moving onto having 1616 Ball Screws, mean a much faster pitch, with greater accuracy and repeatability.

This move was needed with the increased loading we are expecting on the spindles, and namely with having the 6kw ATC hanging off the front.
