I need a nut for the compound slide on a 17X78" LeBlond Regal. Ain't none to be found anywhere, new or used in any condition.
What I need is a 5/8" x 8 tpi square thread* hole put through a piece of brass bar stock, leaving sufficient thickness to the end for strength. I can measure the thread and groove width etc. accurately. The rest of it I can turn to diameter and cut to length. There's plenty of room inside the bottom of the slide, the lower end of the nut simply slips into a 0.999" diameter hole. *Yup SQUARE, not ACME. The lathe was made in 1944. The only currently operational lathe I have is my 1940 Montgomery Ward, which has no gearbox and just the change gears that were on it when I got it. (Possible CNC conversion candidate, or at least e-leadscrew.) Currently rehabbing Wade 8A #403 and the forementioned large Regal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
