    Those look okay. They look like the same lead I have on my mill. 10mm. Not the best for a Z axis really. It will mean you need stronger motors I think or use belt drives. Great for speed though which unfortunately isn't something you really have to have on such a small machine. I keep mine down below 300 IPM although it's capable of higher. It rarely actually has time to hit such speeds in rapids anyway. Just not enough machine travel.

    I would actually get that one though. The price seems right to me.

    Are you converting the XY table to ballscrews? looking forward to seeing what you do with it. I've got a similar table I'm working on right now (slowly), adding ballscrews and servos from ebay.

    Ok so I finally have a motor its a 2 horse from a proform treadmill and I have a question about the fly wheel, its big and heavy is it better to use it when putting it on a mill or toss it in the junk pile?

    Wouldn't this work?

    I have one of these and it will run either of the two treadmill motors sitting on my shelf.
