Hardware and accessories for a compound slide table (drill press)?

I don't think I have one yet... :)
Quite timely, I must say. I was looking at the backlash issue and wondering if I could adapt an anti-backlash nut like the CNC folks use. Cutting the screws is a little beyond me at this point, but if I have a target or goal for improvement I'll likely get there much faster. Thank you for providing the inspiration!

You would not have to make any new screws. The originals get modified. The modification will make the table smooth and accurate just like a milling machine table and back lash can be reduced to just a few thousandths.
