I have one, been using it a year or so. Great, even when I forget to unlock the table it doesn't complain.Hey Mike, How do you like the Vevor drive? I am looking for a drive for my X Axis to place on the right hand side of the table.

I have the Servo Automation unit and it is the same. Faster going down than when going up. All that weight going up impact the speed. But man do I love having it... cranking the handle got old fast...It's a slower going up on the Z axis than going down, but I doubt the high $ ones are much different, just a matter of weight being lifted. That being said, I haven't used one on X or Y, but my feeling is they would work just fine. I will be putting them on both the Y axis's on my two vertical mills. Mike
Good luck with z eyes...........Probably not doing to much else for the next month as I'm having cataract surgery on both eye's two weeks apart
You'll be able to machine probably. I had both eyes done. You can't bang your head, or get anything in the eye. But good safety glasses and a shield should be enough. I was amazed how much better I could see. I spent a lot of time outdoors and also looking at the sky sometimes at the sun as my Gliders would pass it.. you go where the thermals are, and sometimes while coming home, you have to take a route you don't want to. Green air is important when competing.Finished up the Z axis PF install. After getting every thing back together it occurred to me that as I was in the process of installing the DRO that I might want to be able to use the hand crank for fine movement of the Z. Hasn't been an issue on the BP because I've just been using it for gross up and down. The only hitch is that with the PF installed the shaft is too short to use the handle. So, tear everything apart, machine an extension .100 oversize, and drill it out to 5/16. Then set up the steady rest as the spindle is too small for the shaft to pass through, drill and tap the existing shaft. Bolt the two together, and weld it up. Back to the lathe and turn it down, and Bob's your second cousins, X wife's nephew. Considered putting a spring between the crank and the drive stub to keep it from inadvertently engaging during operation, but tried running it in both directions in rapid, and it stays put at it's furthest point out. Probably not doing to much else for the next month as I'm having cataract surgery on both eye's two weeks apart, and they have a boatload of restrictions during recovery. Mike

And how. Especially doing things like reaming after drilling. Then back again.cranking the handle got old fast...
I used to . I was competitive in F3B, and the USA's Thermal Duration.Are you flying RC sail planes?
