Hello all,

I'd just like to add my $0.02 on this method - just recently had cause to use it as the Z axis on my Maximat V10P milling head stripped out the unusual thread on the nut  - just over 0.55" X 16 TPI (evidently a unique acme used by Emco Maier). With replacements non-existent, it was either come up with a way to replace it entirely, and in all probability with a 5/8"X8 Acme, or make a new nut.

In desperation I tried the acetal method and so far it is working perfectly, in many ways, better than the original, but worn, nut. I highly recommend this method if one cannot get or make a replacement nut.

Best,
Mike

I do use delrin/ acetol nuts on my CNC router but have always cut the threads with a home made tap. this has always been satisfactory but i must admit this method is a better approach to it. The only issue as to have a sacrificial piece of the screw, in the long term though to make a batch up is a lot cheaper.
