X-Axis power feed
#1
Hello folks.

Since I have to get into the X-Axis lead screw assembly on my Acer b'port clone, I'd like to entertain the thought of installing a power feed on that axis. I had one on my mill/drill, and appreciated it.

I don't really know what options are available in power feeds, they're not a real sexy topic of discussion, nobody seems to mention them.

Does anyone have any experience with the modest priced units? Any brands that should be avoided?

I looked at Enco, and they carry 2 brands: the ENCO house brand, and the SERVO made-in-USA brand. About $400 and $800, respectively, both with 150 ft-lbs of torque.

Grizzly has one on sale for $245 --- is this too good to be true? Listing states 135 ft-lbs torque. Is this going to be an issue?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on the subject.
