No intention to hijack this thread, but has anyone played with an electronic lead-screw on these bigger lathes?

I've seen people do them on many sizes of machine. Once you get to the big iron, they usually have gearboxes, so not many would bother with them there. I run the Clough42 on my PM1127. It works great, but I have occasionally wanted a bigger drive motor. I'm using the original version he suggested.

I believe the "H" is a spacer. BOH

I would be interested in an electric lead screw for my PM 1130. Is there a complete kit to add one on?

Not a kit per-se, but not too difficult to get everything for.

I have a build log doing mine. It was a very fun project.
