    Thanks Rick,
    Looks like a real winner for removing backlash. Perhaps you can modify the lower screw to be your own version of a NYLOK® TORQ-STRIP® screw by using a Dremel cutoff wheel to cut a thin slot and then filling in with RTV silicone. Looking forward to you next article on the RF-30 Mill/Drill.
