I remember just went found in catalogue and ordered with a couple of spare nuts to make my own anti-backlash nut. Will photo if picture required as not happy with Tom Senior nut location.

The VFD should be in an enclosure fixed in position. You will invariably have live contacts which could be touched either by hand or by small tool, etc.,
The minimum insulation requirement is two layers of insulation over/around any conductor at voltages exceeding about 50 volts, unless mounted inside an enclosure which requires either a safety interlock, or tools for opening said enclosure.

Yes please. Pics always handy.
Yes - I should have mentioned the next job is to mount the VFD inside the column, now I no longer need the front controls and to see the screen. Once I’ve found suitable glands to bring the cables in, that’ll be done.

Fitting a DRO
(https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/36347079...NokiYnkOtOa2PA%3D%3D|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2047675)
at the moment. I thought the Y axis would be the easiest, so started with that, but it turned out to be a bit faffy. Took ages, so I fitted the monitor, plugged in and played with the functions to give myself some motivation to fit the X and Z tomorrow.
I like the X stops and locking handle on the front, so was going to fit the X scale on the back of the bed. The vice sticks out the back anyway, so I won’t lose any more Y travel. Can you fit the X scale either way round (flipping horizontally, I mean)?
