    Hello Everyone,

    Can someone recommend a place that has good precsision ball screw retrofit kits for a bridgeport series 1 machine. Also looking for CNC folding handles.

    Cheers,

    Call, do not e-mail, HIWIN, especially if you want a reply in this lifetime.

    Machine tool suppliers like HIWIN don't typically respond too well to DIY e-mailers/tire kickers but they do reply nicely to phone in callers.

    Been noticing that ! Thanks for the confirmation.

    This is a problem for me since I work from 0530 to 1800 and calling out is a problem. Email is my best option since I can do that from anywhere. Hate the idea of having to take a vacation day to make phone calls ...

    Cheers.
