Having got into trouble some time ago when converting from ACME to ballscrews, I endorse Jon's view. The problem with ballscres is that you may need to machine to sadle or the table casting to accommodate the nuts. Machining a stable casting always invites trouble (warping) and my experience suggests that while we are always optimistic that it will be fine, its simply won't.
