Excellent. A cross slide screw + nut for another 50 years. Are there still available these parts for Raglans +/- off the shelf? From Myford? I guess the factory closed some 40 years ago. |

a 1/2-10LH tap only costs $100 or so at McMaster-Carr. Looks like you saved some bucks doing the internal threading on the lathe. :beer: |
