The product page for the Journeyman describes an optional 1616 ball screw that provides a roughly 60% increase in speed. Looking through the purchase options, I see no place to specify the 1616. Is it included with the Journeyman by default? How do I ensure that the 1616 is included with my order?

Thanks!

Jim

Hey Jim… We have decided to upgrade all X-50’s (free of charge) to the 1616 for the foreseeable future. Hope this helps. Talk soon…
