You might google EVANUT it tells you how to make an actel nut that shrinks around your lead screw.
Thousands of people have checked it out. All most no backlash.

What type of Bronze is the Cross slide nut made out of?

660, 924, 932 or 954
 
Ditto what Jimsehr above said...

I made a "hybrid" version for mine:

...and while you're at it, do something similar to tighten up the carriage nut bushings, what I did on this page...
 
I doubt it helps any but to remove backlash on my 10" I took everything apart and run the nut to the part of the lead screw for compound and cross slide with the most movement. The. Took a torch to the nut till it was hot enough to reform to the threads in the screws. Now I have almost zero backlash and it's been that way for several months using it 2-4 hrs a day. I was worried about ruining temper on the screws but they're already heavily worn. This was my cost effective solution to my problem.
