Mike,
I love your website - it has a very professional feel to it . :thumbup:

If my plan doesn't work out (not looking too hot at the moment) I will turn it around and do a variant on yours.

Is your bearing only retained by the grub screw? If so is there any tendency for it to distort the outer track of the bearing?

Thanks for the reply,

Peter

Hi Peter,
Yes the bearing is only retained by the grub screw. My design was a variant of the gadget builder version (www.gadgetbuilder.com) who also used a grub screw to  retain the bearing. I have had no problem with the grub screw retainer and it seems to work well.

Mike,
What is the thread used for the lead screw?
I know it is 1.0mm pitch but what diameter please....
TIA...

Hi John,
The feedscrew for the cross-slide has 10 mm diameter x 1 mm pitch. It has a left hand thread.

John Rudd:
Thanks Mike,
I'll start to get material together to make the necessary mods to my Sieg when we get back home...
