Still a very compact unit; easy to use. |
I also have been considering to use this model... Thanks for the feedback what would be great is to know how to make something similar to this buying separate parts that are affordable. From that one could buy a different lead screw like an 8 or 10 start. I'm having a hard time finding information about how to mount the motor onto the screw, and how this is self contained on the other end. I'd almost want to take one of these apart to see how they are doing it. (this is still research in progress)... Any insight to this would greatly be appreciated.
P.S. I was thinking of using this as a lead screw
