I dont see how that block will be difficult to mill.
I know I can mill it......it would be slow going, but it can be done on a mill that is equipped with a no-backlash type drive.
Of course, my mill has this luxury , as jaydee's mill does not...So nothing to compensate for in arcs for my machine.
But for a few bucks he could convert it to more accurate ACME screws with antibacklash nuts and reduce the play considerably.
Or go the extra mile and convert to preloaded ballscrews.
Ive cut 1/16 "channels, 1/32 " apart and didnt have any of em collapse.
Of course I have alot more money in my mill than jaydee ,for instance, does........
hell , the price of my ballscrews cost enough to almost buy 2 sherline deluxe mills!
