It's not you , it's me . that means that I sent a machining link to
a bunch of buds instead of the music link I thought I was sending .

try this



For some unknown reason I have been unable to post comments on youtube
now for a couple of years & I also no longer have the button to hit to
send the video to my TV .

sorry bout the link

I dunno what's up with that hex rod but I did something similar to address backlash in the lead screw.? I didn't use angular contact bearings, I used thrust bearings.? I did it by machining a replacement bearing? block, which has the same outside dimensions as the OEM version.? I saw no point in using steel so it's 6061 aluminum.
?
The job was done to improve the performance of my LS hand crank mod.? My LS is 16TPI so the Z motion is a little coarse compared to the cross slide and compound feed screws @20TPI.? I also added a DRO on the Z axis so it can function as a long-throw compound.....for some things.? I still need the top slide for threading so it's not going in the scrap bin.? But for a lot of stuff I can use the plinth, which is good in terms of improved rigidity.
