What I have now is going good but I want it to be much better.

cool. When I find a new job I will be upgrading my Z
looking myself 
What is the difference in the teeth for stock screw vs quick turn?
no teeth…direct drive…but the steps per mm were way diffrent
Threads / teeth
Tomatoe / tomato
i think its 3.75 turns per inch… i’d have to look …or u could 
final found it in my messages…3.175turns/inch fast travel with 2 pieces anti backlash nut.
This optional screw is only 14.60$. It’s not a standard acme rod!!

Was there an noticeable difference in chatter reduction after this upgrade?
I have been doing a ton of mdf cutouts lately and chatter = sanding.
noticeable… was night and day. anyone who has the older 2 rail x, needs to get the upgrade to single x rail 48 bucks shipping will kill ya tho
didn’t you get one of these?
I have the old style with the 30 minute mod but I think its time to at least do that upgrade.
I think by the time your Z hits the limit switch it is already too late 
This is on my to do list for sure just havent figured out yet if I need a 5-6" or 6-7" direct drive linear. leaning towards the 6-7" with the 2" lift plates going on at the same time.
@RyanEdwards @ClintPadgett - This is also on my upgrade list (soon)! I am just not sure which size I need as I want to upgrade the entire gantry to a screw drive/lift kit. Ive been looking at the kit @Phantomm offers. I just need to be sure whichever I end up going with, the Z Kit can reach the waste board still.
was looking at his but I decided on direct drive
his is direct drive, is it not? Which kit are you looking at?
oops my bad I thought we were talking linear Z kits just went back and read your reply again and realized you were not.
