I'm now the proud owner of one good nut.
On to the next.

Acme & metric trapezoidal threads can be the trickiest to do because of the included angle being 1/2 that of a standard 60º thread.
When making them I find that there's a VERY fine line between "the gauge doesn't quite go though the nut" and "clink clink" looseness. Usually, that difference is nothing more than that last "spring pass."
Good job Ed!

I now have a good set of nuts, just like all men should have.

That's definitely the key to a good fit.

Next I need to make the holder for my nuts but first I'm going to work on this. The holder can wait until tomorrow.

Very nice job
I love internal left hand threads of the ACME type

That's a well-earned frosty malt beverage.

I guess I'm not going to start on the nut holder today. I could have sworn I had the material I needed but alas, two sweeps through the shop looking for it turned up empty so I'll have to order some. Oh well, I can work on getting the mill back together so I can mill the nut holder and I also need to mill the scallops in the nut with the flange.
