Speaking Colchester this Mascot went at auction last week for the equivalent of US$299.86. Somebody got a good buy!

Looks like the gap may be missing in the Mascot..........incidentally, can't adjust a worn screw, with all the wear in one area, or it will jam somewhere else

I Googled something about my lathe and this thread popped up.

This is my screw and nut combo. There wasn’t a wedge when I took it apart. Pictures show wedge with gap around it and with 1 nut turned one turn. How does this actually work? Am I meant to mill the flat face? Of the wedge?
