Hello Everyone.
This Lead screw replacement MOD is a Very easy project for any one to try.
It is not the End-All-Be-All of MOD's, but for small turnings this MOD can
really help you out.And for the price? ($11.01 for a 3' acme screw.) I think
it's well worth the effort. And the really neat

Hey Curt,
Super excited to see your results for sure. I may convert my Revo for the
pen and game call turning.
Just keep us posted on the results and any adjustments you end up doing to
get it to work.
I see no reason it will not work. Yes you will have to explain how you

David your Y axis lead screw looks Great!
I also like your home-made tap, Ive done things like that on other machines in
the past, But so far Not on my Legacy.
But having said that, I have played with the idea of making another lead screw
for the X axis, a screw like yours would slow down
follow it too closely, so I don’t know if a good source
was ever found. Well, to the point. Today I purchased a new screw drive
garage door opener. It came with, you guessed it, a nine foot lead screw.
The lead screw is in three foot sections that interlock to form one screw,
and is steel
Woops! thanks Bill you are correct.

Here is how I mounted my limit switch so that only the one plate would be
needed to mount it and the carriage would trip the switch directly.

Make sure your ½ depth acme thread fits your legacy lead screw nut? Or you
will have to make a new nut as well

Thanks Tim. I'll put things on pause until I get the right fix. The
split-nuts with the threads do have the shoulders. The carriage is probably
too stiff. I'll check to see whether it's the bushings. I'll also give a
closer inspection to the acme and the screws. I'll take the advice to
