My first post...great site and forum!

I am thinking of a 2-axis retrofit on my old 1J. I bought Chris Bruno's plans and think I am going to do something close to that. 1200 oz/in or so steppers and Geckos. Probably Mach2/3 for control. Get that cooking and then do the Z-axis...

The thing I am waffling on right now is whether or not to fit ballscrews. What kind of problems can I expect without them? What suggestions do y'all have for Ballscrew kits if I do decide to get them? Anybody make a kit for the 9"x42" BP Series 1? I have no problem fabricating the motor mounts and such, but for some reason, I would like the ballscrews to be as "bolt-on" as possible.

TIA,
Wally
