Oh boy, I'm looking for trapezoidal (like ACME thread) screws and nuts in left hand form. The rods are already expensive, but nuts feel like a total ripoff. A hex nut for Tr20x2 being 30mm long and 30mm in "diameter" costs me 22 bucks! O_o Just a single one, made of regular steel. A meter of rod is 21€. The more common Tr20x4 hex nut is just 7€ and the rod 17€, but 4mm pitch is a bit much for a leadscrew for semi-precision work I reckon.
Well, maybe I just use metric threads. I will sleep on this.
@lyse what are you building now? The things you are mentioning I couldn't even start wrapping my head around them! 😅 They sure sound expensive, tough.

@david I plan on building an X-Y table. But with these leadscrew prices, I might as well just buy a whole import table altogther.
@lyse oh, fancy!
X-Y table
@bender I do hope that it ends up fancy! But maybe it turns out rather crappy. Metal working is definitely beyond my capabilities. I just find it super fascinating.
