The cross-feed screw on my Atlas-Craftsman 12" lathe has enough play that I can get almost 30 degrees of rotation on the handle when reversing rotation, before it starts to move the compound the other way.
I am assuming that the cross-feed nut is worn and when I pull the saddle to replace wipers I'd like to also replace the cross-feed nut.
Can anyone here that has rebuilt one of these model lathes confirm that this is the right part?
