    Thanks for the help. I re-did the wires. Also check the coupling on the lead screw to the motor, I think that was the problem. Maybe not position right on the motor shaft or lead screw. Any ways no weird sound and move smoothly.
    Thanks

    Great stuff. Yeah a little loctite on the grubscrews helps a lot too! And make sure to have one of the motor-side setscrews on the flat of the D-shape of the motor shaft
