REFERENCE LIBRARY

Here you'll find links to other websites, documents we've produced, and more. Think of this as a place to find answers to questions.

We looked all over the internet. Hopefully these resources will be of use to you.

One our first articles written is on the topic of backlash and lead accuracy. We also compiled a chart of ballscrew and acme manufacturers and provided specs, links to their websites, and more.

Another chart we're working on is a tooling checklist. It's a chart that will help you make your first tooling purchases whether it's for the lathe or mills.

And always useful is a list of vendors so you can find places to spend your money! :)
