Subject: What are you using for Lead Screws on a CNC/PCB Milling Machine?

Hi Guys
I am building a small CNC Mill for machining PCB's and was wondering
what you guys are using for the lead screws on the X and Y axis? I have
a small Ball Screw that I am going to use for the Z axis. (10 mm
diameter) I was thinking of using stainless threaded rod and split
nuts made out of brass for the X and Y axis lead screws. I am using
Stepper motors and would also be interested in what you recommend for
pitch. Would like reasonable travel speeds.
Thanks for the help.
Regards
Bill
