| X2 leadscrew replacement |
| (1/1) |
| toastedsiopao:
I am planning to conver to CNC and make my parts except the leadscrew. THe leadscrew I found locally available is a 10mm diameter with 2mm pitch, is it just okay to replace the stock 15mm leadscrew with these 10mm? |

Hi I assume that this is a ball screw? so will be very little friction. The 1.5 pitch thread was supposed to be universal metric and imperial. The 2 mm pitch is much easier to work with and calculate settings Converted my X2 to 2 mm pitch threads and find it much easier to use I see that the latest models have 2 mm pitch lead screws. Eric |

Hi Do you want leadscrews or ballscrews? You can get ballscrews (cut and machined even) on ebay. If you want leadscrews... you can get a set here (already machined for the X2) from this guy http://fignoggle.com/kits/acmekit.htm As far as going with a smaller screw? Not sure if that is wise. Eric |
