The burke millrite I bought was already equiped with a metric ball screw and ball nut. Im having a problem with the ball screw has no threads for a nut or stud on the ends, and keeping backlash out of the table is near impossible. The only way the screw is held in between the thrust bearings is by the setscrews in the manual crank handels.
I know the ball screw is hardened as a file glides across it with no marks left.
What would be the most effective way of eliminating my problem (ie threading or drilling and tapping the ends of the ball screw)?
