I saved a brown and sharp # 0 Mill from the scrappers a couple of years ago. Every thing worked except the power feed. Broken mount for the feed shaft , repaired.
Put power to it and found out the vise was totally screwed. After probably 15 hrs it’s done. The sliding jaw was stripped out and the screw was really messed up . I needed a 1 inch by 2 1/2 internal threaded sleeve. I have a very good lathe but really didn’t,t want to try threading that deep.
Being me I took 4 1 inch nuts turned them round put them on a threaded mandrel. And welded them together . Worked great. Here’s some pics if you can see it
Thanks scruffy Ron
