I machined 6 units each consisting of a male screw and female nut 2"-10, 60 degree thread. I used a carbide insert tool. The first 5 units fit together satisfactorially, screwing the male into the nut from EITHER end. The sixth unit fits together from one end easily by hand, but when I reverse the nut and attempt to install the male screw from the OPPOSITE end, it jams about 5/8" in. Material is 10L14. nut OD is 3" open both ends. Male threads are 21/2" long, with a 21/2" OD cap or bolt head. I intendto use these to raise my bench top lathe up to a more comfortable heigth. Any suggestions on fixing the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Ken
