Need Advice- lead screw older jgro plans. Hello, the plans call for a 1/4-20 threaded rod for the lead screw. I would like to use a acme rod of say 5/16. Is this possible? if so where is the best place to buy the 2x 4 foot pieces? Thanks in advance.

The acme leadscrews will work a lot better than hardware store threaded rod. I'd say go to half-inch; 5/16" is still too thin. Here's one place to get them: Acme Screws & Threaded Rods | Dependable Acme Threaded Products
Thanks that's what I'll do....:O)
