Threaded Rod = ?346 viewsBasically, my traverser will be moved side to side by a motor. I had to find a way to move the table top. I refined an ideaI saw on the small layout scrapbook to create this. Simply put, a threaded rod is place in bearings (from Maplin), and then 2 Bolts are put on. As the rod rotates, the bolts move one way or the other.
