Thank you all for your help, the Xylotex conversion kit seems to fix all my problems!
I'm glad the machine got your "ok" stamp, just one question: is it a big deal that it has a trapezoid profiled screw, instead of a ball screw?
will precision suffer greatly? will the backlash increase over time?

Do you really need CNC? If you don't need to make radii/splines/etc you really don't NEED it.

well, I was thinking more along the lines of: "if we have a CNC mill, we
can make radii/splines/etc..."
but with a conversion kit I agree that learning the basics of milling comes first, and CNC second.
Thanks!
