            <description><![CDATA[ It's a MM 1.5.  I upgraded to acme from threaded rod.  The threaded rod did ok but that had a z wobble as well.<br />
<br />
I found these [<a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Helical-Encoder-Flexible-1-4-3-8-Shaft-Coupling-/121113001682?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item1c32e5bed2" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.ebay.com</a>] but I think that the 1/4" is going to be slightly to big to tighten down.]]></description>

My problem exactly, it seems others are using printed couplers or are using a lathe to turn down their acme rod ends.  I don't have easy access to a lathe.  I am using printed couplers right now but they are giving me terrible z banding as they are solid and give no alignement error compensation.]]></description>
