I'd forgotten how difficult it is to hand drill cast iron. Either nice chips or powder or nothing. Four oversize holes for the helicoil insert tap. Then the 6x1mm inserts. For the aluminium casting got a chance again to use the G33.1 with a 6mm tap and my spring loaded collet holder.

The backlash removal will be a major project. This is what the bronze ACME nut looks like. Clearly no way to split it and add any sort of backlash tweak. http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/XAxis_Nut-2.jpg The pin on the nut fits into this hole. http://www.autoartisans.com/mill/XAxis-Ways-3.jpg I
