Ok, Bill - you "asked for it" - again.Which way do YOUR screws turn? Is it true that they turn the opposite way that ours in the N. Hemi. turn? lol!We ALL appreciate your in-depth knowledge, historical wisdom, and words of advice and encouragement.With that in mind - for the Members that may not
Since you found it, couldn't it be re-hardened?
My tap has not been hardened,beyond its acme screw temper but it can cut
delrin easily enough,and I even did bronze once.
I think that the new Legacy slip nut, will work given some time, and use. (If
not I am willing to try chasing it with my
I did find my tap in the ashes curt but it got so hot there is no temper much
left in it not sure it would even cut delrin now

Hello Everyone. (Its been a crazy week for me. Sorry to be a late comer to
this topic.)
I made my own tap a while back. I used a small section of lead-screw form an
old Legacy. my tap works well. (If you want I can try to chase the threads out?
if so let me know, I am willing to try.)

Fair enough Tim I guess they would have to be cheaper than legacy’s ones well
if they’re going to be a good price you can put me down for a couple. Remember
for members ordering on some mill models the split nut can be a different shape

Yes they are available from Legacy. I just ordered one from Cindy, and will
be here sometime this upcoming week.
I responded the Forum as others where interested in getting some made.
I have a avid young friend that has CNC as well as works for a machine shop
and offered to dig into it.
Kind
Your welcome Mac.
So the question would be how many people would be interested in getting
some of these?
The guy I talked to said he could do them. So with CNC the first question
is always "How many Parts"?
I could also find out about getting a tap but sounds like very expensive.
Also would need
I think delrin is still the best material to make a split nut from and any

I have a buddy up here in Minnesota that has a CNC and I shot him an email to see if this something he can create. Hopefully I hear something back
