Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Thats a good price for the acme thread. Sounds like you got the same acme nuts as I did, very loose and rough finish.

I found a fantastic CAM package, called CamBam. Its windows based, includes basic CAD functions, and supports a range of machining processes including engraving, pocketing, drilling, etc. Exports the G code to industry standards And its free ( at this stage )

Find it here http://www.brusselsprout.org/CAMBAM/
