The tool I printed fits my Sieg with the 80mm spindle flange. I also found that a bit of 'deburring' and smoothing of the gears and gear housings made things move more easily. There was some discussion in the FaceBook 7x lathe group (where I posted the same info) and another user developed a larger version to suit the 100mm flange on his lathe.With the curved section sitting on the spindle, the nut doesn't quite line up well enough to make it easy to get it started on the stud and the gears are meshed very tightly. I suppose my lathe may have a slightly different spindle diameter and/or stud spacing?
