question...in reference to roger's post, what constitutes a manual machine?...would it be a machine that does not have a gear motor on the end of the lead screw?...or is it a machine that is CNC controlled?...and not to beat a dead horse, but lead screw "whip" is not the issue...i am now calling the issue i am concerned with, "rotational twisting" of the lead screw,LOL...and if roger is bending andy's ear, is there any chance of finding out if there were ever any lead screw concerns in considering building any extended length legacy, whether it be manual or cnc...and why do i think it was easier to find bin laden then it will be to get any legacy inside info, LOL!...thanks guys...joe
