    Hi Kosa,
    Yeh fair enough on the mill. There are a few good things about the X3S.
    I want brute force for mine. lol.
    The shed is a 3M X 8M. Come on we are Aussy land. Metric here.

    Just not that high enough for me.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    How much the benefit can you get from a 20mm ballscrew compared with 16mm one? any test report?

    Thanks
    David

    Hi David,
    I don't have exact figures but it is mainly on a large machine on a long run away from the bearing under a large load that you can get flex on the screw and therefore loose accuracy, so I'm told.
    Plus you can use more force with a bigger screw.
