Bridgeport lead screws in Aus
I have a series 1 Bridgeport that needs new nuts and lead screws. Originally a metric machine I may convert it to imperial given the price difference for metric screws and nuts (Divisions mean nothing with DROs).
The problem is that freight from the US or UK is very near the price of the screws. Probably the screws length contributes to this as some suppliers cannot ship long packages to Aus.
My question is are there ways around this? Alternative freighters, Australian suppliers (I cannot find one). Anyone converting a BP to ballscrews for CNC conversion want to sell me serviceable screws and nuts. I would prefer to keep it metric but it is not worth $800 more.
