Rob,
A quick look on mine (a Unimat 3) suggests about 0.4mm of free play between the leadscrew and its bearing. This should be able to be taken up by adjusting the handwheel on the screw, though I haven’t bothered.
I haven’t looked at the nut, but I don’t seem to have any appreciable play there at all.
Are your gibs snug?
