[QUOTE="Hennie, post: 6337, member: 20"] Lead screws are available as standard catalogue items just like bearings, pulleys etc. Zero backlash nuts for them too. Also bare stock in certain lengths that just need to be cut to length and machined with a suitable interface. I can't remember supplier names, but I think some of the bearing manufacturers like FAG make lead screws and nuts. Definitely available in SA. As for machining the lead screw stock to the right length and interfaces, yes it is very very hard, but nothing a good machine shop cannot do. There are suppliers of DIY CNC components in the US, but I have not looked at prices. [/QUOTE]
