Yes, I am happy with this, especially when comparing with original situation, when there was a hole in aluminium and steel shaft turning inside..

Actually, cross slide is sort of better (almost no backlash but tighter), this is due to the way nut is attached to the slide (with screw), so when tightened, nut is also rotated a bit (as allowed by screw.. which is then hold tight),
