Yes I have been looking at screw with a large amount of travel per rotation, my only concern was backlash distance might be increased? Not sure about that..
My leadscrew for the Y would be 1M is that long enough to cause whipping issues?
Here is a picture of my machine before I uprated the y axis shafts to 10mm stainless steel.
I think I am getting between 0.1 and 0.2mm backlash on the y axis, looking at my machine do you think it is possible to reduce this backlash.
Many thanks
Gavin
