CNC Ball Screw Mill X-Y Base Upgrade
Complete 5019 XY stage (base and saddle) with Ball Screws and Nema 23 motor mounts. This is an ideal assembly for upgrading your existing Taig Micro mill from lead screws to ball screws as you can use your old base with the 4105C5 Taig Mill to 5C Lathe conversion kit to add a CNC lathe to your shop! Due to the weight of the motor and Z axis assembly, the Z axis is less likely to experience backlash and so upgrading the Z axis to ball screws may not be worth the extra cost for many users.

Snapper Mower Deck Repair
Submitted by admin on Mon, 09/07/2015 - 23:36I was given a heavily used snapper lawn mower a few years ago and it has been a great riding mower! However, it was made in the mid 90's and has several parts in need of attention. Lately the deck belt has been jumping its pulley system every time I disengage the blades. Apparently 20 years of the tensioning pulley pivoting on its hinge has caused some wear. This turned out to be a perfect job for the lathe. Here we go!
