    Does anyone know of a place to get a replacement X ballscrew for a reasonable price for my Bridgeport Boss 3? If none are available new or used in great condition then has anyone had any luck with...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    Yes, I was aware that it would have had 0 backlash from the factory, I was just stating that I would be fine with sub 0.001" of backlash. The machine is not a high production/high precision machine...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    I'm aware that it has a rotating nut, I have it completely removed from the machine. We use that same style on all of our X and Y axes on the machine we build here at work. The only thing missing...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    I don't have any experience with that UC100, I will have to look into it more but it looks to replicate the LTP port by means of USB and adds a "coprocessor"of sorts? I wonder if this would still...

    We build a few different lines of machines, but our 5 axis machines for the aerospace industry would have the tightest tolerances.

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    I should have also said that I do believe we use C3 ballscrews in all of our machines, I just double checked our spec sheet that we require of our ballscrew vendor and it states "Ground Ball Screw C3...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    I also don't mind spending money on it that I feel is beneficial. I was well prepared to pay $1,000 or so for a replacement x-axis ballscrew, but places want that much just to "reball" them, which I...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    That's a good-looking machine. Mine looks to be in fairly nice shape, it's just the X axis ball screw that shows that much wear (It actually has .008" of backlash, but I rounded up). The Y Ball...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    I cleaned, inspected, and reballed the screw on Saturday. The X-axis now has less than .0004" of backlash. I could have probably gotten rid of that but I only ordered one set of balls and was anxious...

    Re: Bridgeport Boss 3 X-axis ballscrew

    Yes, 2 different sizes. One size was .002" smaller. Original sized balls were .1242 and .1222". I went back with .1248" and reused the .1222" balls as spacers after cleaning them up really well.

    It is definitely this one, I noticed in the first manual you posted it did not have power feed and the switches were in a slightly different location than mine, but this one is dead on. Thank you.
