Where can I obtain an assortment of shims made to fit the lead screws of a Bridgeport mill? I'm starting to reassemble my mill and it's now obvious to me
that the shims that were originally in it (it's a BP clone with retrofitted ball screws) weren't right for minimal backlash.
The ball screws have no backlash that I've yet been able to measure. There is
system backlash but it can all be corrected by the use of the right shims,
which is what I'm looking for.
I'll need an assortment of suitable shims, in every type used on a BP and in
a variety of sizes.
