Hi,

I've had a few issues with galling which has caused the lead screw to loose its effectiveness.
The machined parts haven't been to spec. Can someone recommend a reliable lead screw brand?
 
What type/brand of machine are you running? Is the lead screw you have just an ACME or Trapezoidal screw or is it a ballscrew?
 
A little thrown off as this thread is in "Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing" but nonetheless I agree with digger doug as pictures of what you are describing would be helpful.
