Lathe Cross Slide Problem

[EdK]

Ken,

OK, I did my best to get a proper center height for the lead screw. I figure I can either shim it or skim it if it's off.

I did not draw the threads for the mounting screws. I'll use a transfer punch to locate them and drill and tap them myself. I think it'll be more accurate that way.

The location and size of the slit is based off of the existing nut which may not be correctly designed so go ahead and use your best judgement in machining this feature. I also didn't draw the threads for the set screw for adjusting the slit to remove backlash so you can use your best judgement again.

Let me know if I've missed something on the drawing.

Thanks Ken!

Ed
