      A minor issue I encountered while using the RRF configurator (see screenshot below), should 'pitch' be changed to 'lead' ? (they are not the same)

        that is probably a glitch in the matrix from the days when pitch and lead were the same. (yeah, i guess pitch is correct for a M5 screw, but not necessarily for a multi-start acme screw)

        you'll want to use lead, i.e. how much travel one revolution gives you.

          Thanks @bearer, hopefully whoever can fix it will see this thread.

          BTW, this thread also surfaced a glitch in the forums software:

            @zapta said in RRF Configurator: is it 'pitch' or 'lead':

            BTW, this thread also surfaced a glitch in the forums software:

            new feautre the other day after the maintenance it seems.
