Rob,

Very nice screw and matching nut.  :thumbup: Presume it's ACME? How did you grind your tool?

Nick

Rob.Wilson:
Cheers lads  :thumbup:


Spot on Nick ,, it is 5/8 ACME ,,,,,,,,, I use the bench grinder and a screw cutting tool gage ,,, it is easier to start with a length of tool steel first as this makes it easier to hold when grinding .... grinding one side at a time ,, with the tool steel not in the bar .
 

Then put the tool steel in the bar and lock it up , then you can use the bar as a reference .
 

Then grinned the other side ,, and cut off the bit you need ,,, i use the good old dremel  :dremel:


Thought i would stick this in ,,,,,,,, just because the HSS comes straight ,,,, it dose not have to stay that way , just heat it up and bend it to suit the job in hand  :med:


Had a leisurely hour in the shop tonight  and finished off me nut  :)
 


and made a new bush for the outer end of the screw

Very nice Rob.  :thumbup:

Trion:
Again very nicely done! How did you treat the HSS when bending? Did you bend it first, then heat treat and quench?

NickG:
Great, appreciate you taking the time to show me that. Thanks. :thumbup:

Nick
