Thats only a problem in a perfect world Zeb00. Every ormerod owner has to tighten the X-belt.

Yep, just go for it it works great. And i can't complain about precision. Still more than you need. I hope you have the 2mm thread. Was hard to find here. Standard seems to be 3mm and that is to much i think.

Just looked at your post. tr8x1.5 will do the job just as good indeed. Not sure if the step size is easy to work with? 0.0075mmQuote

It might give you some ideas.
Strange, i have almost no backlash. Nut is made with a H7 allowance. And also like said in your post, the weight off the arm compensates that effect. My arm weighs around 1.2kg, so that will do the jobQuote

..Backlash hasn't been an issue, but I was a little dissapointed when it arrived. Then again, we all know that if you can't cope with occasional dissapointment, don't buy cheap carp off of ebay
