I'm about to give up on fixing the ball screws on my Bridgeport and now thinking of just getting a new ball screw retrofit kit or new acme screw setup. Both will end up costing about the same based on prices at H&W Machine. I realize experienced machinist are split on which is better but for a novice such as myself is one more appropriate than another? If it makes any difference my Bridgeport has a 9" x 42" table and was manufactured in 2007. I don't have a power feed except for the Lyman MK7 that came with the machine and there is no DRO but would like to eventually have both.
