    Leadscrew nut materials

    I realise you shouldn't use steel nuts and brass is the common choice but is there any advantage to using delrin or igus dryline nuts. Leadscrew size is 12x3

    Sure there is....They don't have to be as well made

    Ever noticed that Delrin and Dryline only differ by the absence of a Y in Delrin....
