Thanks Ed. I'll get one it as soon as I get done with painting my living room/dining room (big L-shaped room.) Should be a quick job to knock out.
With a 10 TPI thread, you have barely 2-1/2 threads in that "adjustment" section. Most nuts like that I'd seen split in the middle so the halves wear evenly. I would also split it through the entire thread. Where is the adjuster on the original and how would you feel about having a cone point set screw coming through the cross slide casting instead of the hard-to-reach position of the original?
Also, how about radii on the upper corners as the original has? I've got corner rounding cutters, so it's easy.
