A lathe cross slideMsc has 7/16-8 acme rod.
What are you using it for?
I have only cut threads a hand full of times unfortunately I do not have a follow restSo 7/16-10 LH Acme? How much experience do you have single-pointing and do you have a follower rest?
This is not an easy job, even for the equipped and experienced. Given that this should also be a precision thread, I would be inclined to buy one if it can be found.I have only cut threads a hand full of times unfortunately I do not have a follow rest
I don't have a picture right now. I have about 2thou of play, The main issue is the thread. This is a very old lathe, and originally it was square thread and an odd size and tpi as well so I am going to make a new one of standard size and pitch using acme threadsJust how bad is the existing screw? A close up picture of the thread would tell a lot
I understand this is a difficult job but I'm trying to learn and I would like to attempt to make part from start to finish. More so as a personal challenge if nothing elseThis is not an easy job, even for the equipped and experienced
