I could never find the spanner, so got rid of the nut.

Dave, just curious, how did you do the blind, metric thread? single point tool in the lathe?
I figure once I get the number of toolholders I need I won't need to reposition the tool post nearly as often.
I went to the shop to snap a pic of the temporary solution.
I cut up a ring spanner that I had little use for-
Only after getting back here to the computer and downloading the pic I realized I hadn't caught the fact that I cut the end of the box wrench off at a convenient length, It resides on the TP permanently so there's no "searching" for the wrench.
